What's your favorite way to enjoy strawberries?

One of mine is to have them in a baby lettuce salad with white radishes and a lemon vinaigrette dressing.

Finally, the strawberries are out from some local farms and markets!
Did you know this is the best way to remove dirt and more from them even if you buy organic strawberries? Soak them in a baking soda solution (1 teaspoon of baking soda for every two cups of water), submerge the strawberries and soak 10-15 minutes, rinse thoroughly in a colander, pat dry until they're completely dry and store them in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

Mint is a great herb with so many uses from adding some leaves to ice tea or lemondae to a watermelon salad or in Greek inspired meals!

One of my favorite ways to enjoy mint is with tzatziki which is delicious with Greek seasoned ground lamb (cooked into meatballs or patties) in a wrap or over a bed of lettuce and topped with feta, fresh mint, lettuce and Kalamata olives.

If you like mint, what ways do you enjoy having it?

Looking for another way to prepare Snap Peas?

Try making a Snap Pea Salad with carrots, dill and a dijon, lemon, garlic vinaigrette!

If you'd like to grow sugar snap peas in your garden, now is great time to plant sugar snap peas in the ground with only 5-10 days for them to emerge!

Snap Peas are a great Spring vegetable and quick to prepare! A simple sauté with olive oil, sea salt and black pepper can work for any meal.

You can add them to an Asian stir fry, sauté them with garlic and add lemon zest before serving, which would work well with Chicken Picatta or add lemon and feta for a Greek inspired meal!

If you've had snap peas before, what's your favorite way to enjoy them?

Beet Tip:

Adding red onion to your beet salad gives it a little crunch and balances out the sweet flavor of the beets!

Did you know there are some other types of beets? Golden beets are sweeter, Chiogga are referred to as 'candy cane' with their spiral red and white and White beets are the more common beets.

The Chiogga are fun to use and delicious like the red beets!

Beets are so versatile!

If you're lucky enough to have a juicer, juicing them with carrots and orange is delicious!

Roasting them really brings out their flavor and sweetness. They're great to top off your salad too!

A fairly simple way to enjoy them is to roast or steam them, peel them (I use disposable food grade gloves otherwise my hands get red! LOL!), slice them while they're at least warm and drizzle olive oil, balsamic vinegar and add a sprinkle of sea salt! This makes a great salad!

Do you have a recipe to share on how you like to eat beets? We'd love to know!

For all you gardeners out there, did you know arugula is simple to grow just like the various varieties of lettuce?

When you grown them yourself like most greens, the leaves are a vibrant and lively green and bigger too!

Arugula has some amazing benefits!

Who loves Arugula Salad?

In most cases, there is a sweet component to it, spice and a bit of crunch with a sweet dressing or lemon vinagrette.
