About Salad Greens
A well-kept salad garden is one of the quiet pleasures of the kitchen patch, cool rows of butterhead lettuce catching the morning light, peppery arugula tucking in beside mild spinach, and bold radicchio adding a flush of deep red to the bowl. The salad green has traveled far: romaine is named for seeds that legend says came back from Rome, watercress has been gathered from cold, clear streams for centuries, and hearty kale was a staple in cottage gardens long before it graced any market shelf. Every bowl is its own small season, something to harvest young and enjoy the same day, still carrying the freshness of the garden.
