Toscano kale salad

Recipe from 2011


We’ve seen several recipes around for Toscano kale salad. So here is a fast, easy salad we invented to use up kale and other stray vegetables. The ingredients given below reflect what we had on hand - you can use pretty much anything. Use only Toscano kale (dark, pebbly leaves with white stems), since Russian kale (red or purple stems) has to be cooked.

Favourite Caesar Salad with Tofu or Chicken

Recipe from 2011

Bob says: This recipe is an important fuel source on the farm. It powers the tiller, whipper snipper, hoe, trowel, shovel, broadfork, buckets, and my boots. I’d probably starve without it. A tasty timesaver. Off season, I use whichever organic leaves are freshest at Byward Fruit Market Co. In season, I use whichever leaves are ready for harvest – just to make sure that whatever I am harvesting is good enough to deliver. I call this Field Salad with tofu or eggs.
