Spicy Mesclun Mix!!!!
April 28, 2007
I just love lettuce! There is something so very satisfying about planting it and picking your own salads. Mesclun mix is absolutely perfect for a container garden like mine. Plant it, fertilize it and water it, that's all you need to do to make it happy! When it gets a bit warmer it WILL start to bolt but usually I have good salads through June. Make sure that you eat the Arugula blossoms and the Mustard blossoms! They are so rich in vitamin C and so good for you. Chop them up and mix them with butter, then let that melt over grilled tuna that you've laid on a bed of your homegrown greens. The butter and blossoms make a simple yet savory sauce that's bright enough to complement the flavor of the griiled fish.
