Garden Fresh Salad

This garden fresh salad is perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner. The ingredients are packed with vitamins and minerals that will energize you throughout the day.

1. Prepare the vegetables: Peel and chop the loofah into bite-sized pieces. Rinse the mushrooms and separate the caps from the stems. Cut the caps into small pieces and discard the stems. Thaw the peas if they were frozen. Slice the radishes, dice the tomatoes, and slice the cucumbers.
2. Blanch the vegetables: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the loofah. Boil for 2 minutes, then add the mushroom caps and boil for an additional 1 minute. Drain and rinse the vegetables with cold water to stop the cooking process.
3. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, mix the blanched vegetables with the peas, radish, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Toss until well combined.
4. Dress the salad: Add your favorite dressing to the salad and toss until the vegetables are coated. We recommend a light vinaigrette but feel free to use your favorite.
5. Serve and enjoy!
