Microgreens Salad with Strawberry-Lime Vinaigrette
Microgreens are one of the favorites produce items to appear on farmers’ markets, they can be grown all year. Sweet and tender, they require a delicate dressing that won’t wilt or overwhelm the tiny leaves. If you’re like me then you are real particular about the materials used to make all the plastic in the farming works. I found this lunchbox on amazon it isn’t perfect but I love it and it keeps everything fresh.
