Kale Salad
by Paula Guilbeau of Heirloom Gardens
Dressing:
1/2 cup peanut oil
1T sesame oil
2T apple cider vinegar
1T soy sauce
1 1/2 T honey
Dash of Cayenne or siracha to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Salad:
1 Bag Kale chopped
Scallion- I use at least 3
Cilantro- 1/4 cup or handful
Mint-1/4 cup or handful
Dried Cranberries or any other dried fruit
Crushed peanuts or any other nut
Make the dressing and pour over the kale in small amounts, just enough to cover it as you massage the kale, add the rest of salad ingredients and toss with more oil.
This salad gets better and better as it sits, can also add chopped bok choi for more crunch

FARMER OF THE DAY
April 12 – JavaGenesis
JavaGenesis Coffee Roasting is a small batch craft roaster of specialty coffee.
All of our coffee will be roasted within 24-48 ours of the market to ensure our product is at peak freshness when it is delivered to the market.
In addition to producing awesome coffee, promoting responsible environmental and/or social stewardship is important to us. Because Georgia does not have the climate needed to grow coffee, we use 3 importers to source our green coffee. We select coffee from our importers that have been farmed using sustainable practices and when possible we buy shade grown and/or fair trade organic coffees. We roast on a roaster which uses infrared burners, not open flame, atmospheric burners. IR burners produce substantially lower emissions than atmospheric burners. We are proud to roast our coffee on a ‘greener’ roaster. In addition, we give all of our organic waste material (coffee chaff, coffee grounds, etc) to a local farmers and gardeners.
We invite you to ‘Discover the Fresh Roast Difference’.
