  • 1 bag mixed salad greens
  • 1/4 red cabbage, sliced
  • 1 watermelon radish, sliced into thin rounds
  • 2 large carrots, crinkle cut on a mandoline if available
  • 1 large red beet, cut into matchsticks

Directions

This is a really fun salad to make! Go to your local farmers market, co-op or natural food store and choose the most vibrant local vegetables available. Depending on the season this can include, but certainly not be limited to: salad greens, rainbow carrots, red cabbage, green cabbage, golden beets, chioggia beets, red beets, bean sprouts, mushrooms, watermelon radishes, breakfast radishes, sweet peppers, corn, heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, fennel, peas…the list goes on!

Put your salad greens in a bowl and top with raw sliced vegetables. For fun, you can experiment with different thicknesses and shapes of slices. Think: medallions, sticks, crinkle cut and dice cut.
Optional: top with halved Kvass Stained Eggs.
Drizzle with olive oil and/or Organic Beet Kvass and top with heaping spoonfuls of your choice ferment. These salads go well with Organic Sauerkraut, Organic Turmeric Kraut, Organic Kimchi, Organic Beets, Organic Ginger Carrots, Organic Red Cabbage or Organic Garlic Kraut. Have fun with it – it will come out a little differently each time!

🥒 It’s pickle season! Crisp, tangy and full of fl 🥒 It’s pickle season!

Crisp, tangy and full of flavor, lacto-fermented pickles are one of the best parts of summer. 

And they’re more than just delicious. Naturally fermented foods help support gut health and because gut health is closely connected to immune function and mood, supporting your gut can benefit your whole body.

✨ Bonus: Fermented cucumber pickles naturally contain GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a compound involved in supporting a calm, balanced nervous system.

So go ahead, enjoy that pickle! Savor the season, nourish your gut and give your body a little extra love. 🥒

Last week, Real Pickles staff ventured out to East Last week, Real Pickles staff ventured out to Easthampton, Mass., for our annual field trip to visit Liz and Ben (and Clover the dog!) of Mountain View Farm.
Mountain View Farm is one of our amazing farm partners that supplies Real Pickles with organic cucumbers, green and red cabbage, leeks, onions, peppers and flowering dill. Last year, Mountain View delivered more than 58,000 pounds of organic produce to us, including over 20,000 pounds of pickling cucumbers!
The land we visited last week was just a small portion of the 100+ acres that Ben and Liz farm. This particular plot is used mostly for growing flowers and vegetables for their award-winning U-Pick CSA shares. While we didn’t get to see any baby cukes at this location, Liz showed us photos of future Organic Dill Pickles growing beautifully on the farm’s leased land in Hadley, Mass.
As we walked the Easthampton fields together, we learned about some of the ways Ben and Liz are preparing for the upcoming season, including plans to make cucumber harvesting even more plentiful and easier on the crew’s bodies.
Thank you, Liz and Ben, for hosting us and for being such incredible partners in our mission to build a strong regional food system!
