I got all but one :) I thought the red leaf lettuce was spring mix.
ReplyDeleteGood job! Well, red leaf lettuce is in spring mix, so that's still really good! :) Angela
DeleteI got most of them correct. My family and I have a spinach salad every night.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! :)
DeleteI Only missed one of them, and I can't wait to try it now, the red leaf lettuce. It might be something regional?
ReplyDeleteGreetings from the A to Z trail,

Good for you! I'm not sure if red leaf lettuce is regional. I live in Iowa, and it's plentiful at both the grocery stores and farmer's markets. It has a slightly bitter taste, so I like it mixed with other sweeter greens and a fruity vinagrette dressing. Enjoy! ~Angela
DeleteI knew them all, I love veggies.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever grilled radicchio salad? It's great! Just lightly grill the heads, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, some fresh lemon and a some slivers of Parmigiano-Reggiano. yum!
Yay!! I have never grilled radicchio, but I will add it to my list of things to try! We've been firing up the grill a lot in my neck of the woods lately, so I will give it a go! Thanks! ~ Angela, Whole Foods Living, http://www.wholefoodsliving.blogspot.com/
DeleteYea!! Got them all except radicchio and I just couldn't remember the name of it. My family has replaced potato chips with kale chips and loving it!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! :)
DeletePS: I just visited your blog, but the "Comment" button isn't hyperlinked, so I couldn't leave you a note. :(
DeleteI got them all except the red leaf lettuce...because my mind said red leaf lettuce and then said...no it has to have another name LOL! I love my greens :)
ReplyDeleteGreat! And, red leaf lettuce may have another name. That's just what it's called in my neck of the woods! :) ~Angela
DeleteI missed 2--the kale and radicchio--but I still knew I love them all. I guess it goes to show you don't necessarily have to know what something is to think it's delicious! ;)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way! At restaurants I often eat salads with mixed greens, and I have no idea exactly what I'm eating! I don't think I've met a leafy green that I didn't like! Yum! ~Angela
DeleteGot 'em ... and before breakfast.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who picks EVERY PIECE of radicchio out of those mixed salads? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.
Happy A to Z!
Good for you! Sometimes I also pick the radicchio out of a mixed salad. It has a slightly bitter taste, and if I'm not in the mood for that, it goes! But, a reader commented to try grilling it with a little olive oil. Then, squeeze on fresh lemon and a sprinkle of parm/regg cheese. Now, that sounds amazing! Maybe the grilling takes the "edge" off? Hmm....
DeleteI get to be the dunce in class today. I got Brussel sprouts and cabbage right, was unsure about the red leaf lettuce, and had no clue about the last two. Funny thing is, I eat spinach all the time. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post and am glad that I found your site!
