Gluten-Free Solution

You become creative when you have to eat gluten-free! I have started taking our Butterhead lettuce leaves and using it as my hamburger bun. It works terrific. I have also used the leaves for tuna salad and egg salad wraps. The Romaine lettuce also works, although I prefer the flexibility of the Butterhead leaves.

Refreshing Cucumber Salad

This week I sliced 9 of our European Seedless Cucumbers and half of a small onion as thinly as possible. I poured apple cider vinegar over them in a bowl until it was just below the top cucumbers. I added sugar and salt to taste and stirred well. The cucumbers are wonderful after chilling and "marinating" for several hours. They keep well as leftovers too!

Freddie's Favorite Salad Dressing

1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/3 c apple-cider vinegar
2 T Dijon mustard
2 T honey, heaping
1-1/2 T sugar
1 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1/2 c extra-virgin olive oil

Combine garlic, vinegar, mustard, honey, sugar, salt and pepper in a small saucepan and whisk over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Continue whisking until completely combined. Remove from heat. Serve warm over Bacon's Select lettuce.
