Here come greens and vinaigrette’s for your simple summer salads! Your Healthy Kitchen from Yavapai Regional Medical Center covers all you need to know.
Rita Carey Rubin, host of YRMC’s Your Healthy Kitchen, Registered Dietician and Diabetes Educator, uses mild leaf and butter lettuce and Romaine, as well as bolder greens like arugula and radicchio, all from Whipstone Farm in Paulden, Arizona. She tosses in fresh herbs, potatoes, onion, olive, parsley, blueberries, walnuts and more. Topped with easy, homemade vinaigrettes, these salads are delicious, nutritious powerhouses.
“I think I eat some sort of salad every day,” Rita says. “That might sound boring, but when you vary the types of greens, herbs, vegetables and fruits you use, and choose the ingredients that are fresh and in season, a salad can be the best part of any meal.”
Check out the beautiful produce Rita brought to AZTV, and watch her create a variety of fresh, delicious salads:
