07 Nov RECIPE ALERT: Fresh Kale Salad and Balsamic Dressing
The Doe Fund is committed to preparing healthy and nutritious meals for its many residents using ingredients that are freshest when in season. Kale is one of our favorite cold weather crops and we wanted to share this simple recipe that was inspired by our very own urban farms! Located at both our Harlem and Porter Avenue facilities, we have been working hard to reduce our carbon footprint and put our empty spaces to good use!
In addition to kale, this year we have grown multiple varieties of herbs, leafy greens, root vegetables, berries, salad greens, peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, okra, and sunflowers.
