Have you had your greens today? Salads packed with vegetables and protein are great additions to a healthy diet, as well as a staple at any summer barbecue. Fresh salads are quick and easy to make with leafy greens, vegetables or fruit, your favorite dressing, and savory toppings such as meats, nuts, or crumbled cheese. The beauty of salads is that you can make them with whichever ingredients suit your taste! According to nutritionists, those who frequently eat green salads have higher antioxidant levels in their blood, which help to protect the body from toxins. The addition of dairy products into a salad adds both calcium and protein to the meal—both necessary for repair and regeneration of cells in the body. Salads are an excellent and easy way to incorporate nutritious vegetables into your diet and add a pop of color to your dinner parties and barbecues. Continue reading to find out how you can build healthy and impressive salads that are sure to brighten any summer gathering.

Greens
LETTUCE
KALE
ARUGULA
Lettuce is the most common base used in salads. There are four categories of lettuce: iceberg, romaine, butter-head and loose leaf.
Kale is rich in nutrients, containing high amounts of fiber, antioxidants, calcium, vitamins C and K, iron, and a wide range of other nutrients. There are a few different types of kale with varying colors and textures.
Looking for a little bit more flavor in your greens? Try arugula: a peppery and slightly spicy green. Arugula, sometimes called rocket, is a nutrient-dense green that is high in fiber. It is low in sugar, carbohydrates, calories and fat. Arugula is also a rich source of folic acid, vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, and manganese.
Iceberg lettuce is mild-tasting and crunchy because of its 90% water content. Romaine has longer leaves, and the lighter leaves towards the middle are crunchiest and best for salads. Butter-head lettuce has soft, buttery and sweet-tasting leaves. Loose leaf lettuce is usually curlier and can be multicolored. Choose lettuce if you're looking for crunch.
Kale is has a tough and fibrous texture, which can make it difficult to chew. This is why many kale-lovers suggest massaging it for a few minutes with lemon juice or oil in order to soften it. People also use this process to infuse a bit of flavor from the massaging oil or juice into the kale prior to adding dressing.
Salad toppings that go especially well with arugula include almonds, cheese, cucumbers, eggs, mushrooms, pears and citrus vinaigrettes. AUGUST 2020 | 11

Toppings
VEGGIES
FRUIT
When most people think of salad, they associate it with vegetables! Vegetables contain many essential nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber, folic acid, vitamin A, and vitamin C.
Including fruit adds sweetness and added brightness to plain old vegetable salads. Salads with fruit are great meals for hot summer weather because they are so light and refreshing.
Stick with the basics by tossing in onions, cherry tomatoes, carrots or cucumbers, or change things up by adding jicama, mushrooms, beets or even roasted potatoes.
Strawberries, peaches, avocados, pears, olives and pomegranates are all delicious fruit options to try in a salad. Experiment with both fresh and dried fruits!
DK-006 Castello Traditional Blue Wheel 1x6lb | $5.99/LB
CHEESE Adding cheese to a salad is not only an excuse to eat cheese, but adds protein, texture and a bit of salty savoriness to your bowl of greens. Here are some cheeses we suggest trying in your next salad. AUGUST 2020 | 12
Castello Traditional Danish Blue cheese has a fine, nutty, blue mold aroma with hints of marzipan and a soft bitterness of sourdough. Crumble on your salad for a unique, tangy flavor! Castello Blue is great on a salad with figs, apples and nuts.
PROTEIN Protein is an important ingredient in any salad. Without a source of protein, a bowl of leafy greens and vegetables is unlikely to keep you full for long. Adding proteins such as seeds, cheese, tofu, cooked meats, nuts, beans or eggs will help you feel full and energized long after the enjoyment of your salad.

Celebrate National Waffle Day with these breakfast favorites!
THIS IS MY
Jam
A novelty breakfast staple across the U.S., the waffle has quite a history. This August 24th we are celebrating National Waffle Day which commemorates the anniversary of the first waffle iron patent issued. Although the origin of waffles was discovered hundred of years ago, it was not until 1869 when Cornelius Swarthout of Troy, New York patented the first waffle iron device. The origin of the waffle started in Greece. Oublies (or wafers, derived from the Greek term), was crafted with a mixture of flour and water and then poured into two circular metal plates attached to a long handle. The handle would be held over an open hearth until a flat cake was formed. Oublies were popular amongst the Catholic Church as they would customize the inner plates with intricate patterns of religious symbols of biblical scenes. As time progressed and oublies became more popular amongst people, the iron designs began to change to include artistic designs, family crests and even landscapes. AUGUST 2020 | 24
By the 1600’s, oublies were renamed wafel, or gaufre in French. Dutch Wafelers perfected the wafel to include spices, cream, honey and butter into the batter resulting in a thicker and doughier cake. Wafelers began using rectangular plates rather than circular ones and introduced the signature honeycomb pattern. Once pilgrims began immigrating to the Americas, the Dutch brought wafels with them which gradually became waffle when the English added a second F to the word. After Swarthout patented his waffle iron device, the waffle iron evolved over time to the standard electric waffle iron we see and use today. This National Waffle Day enjoy a mouthwatering waffle topped with sauces and creams or used in a sandwich for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Whichever way you choose to enjoy your waffles, we know its sure to be a tasty treat.
