I read in the last newsletter that people were unsure about some of the more unusual offerings from our Coop. Recipezaar.com is a great resource. I found a bunch of great recipes for kohlrabi last year. This year I’ve been making green smoothies from the lettuce. Here’s the recipe:

• 8 leaves lettuce
• 1/4 cup juice (whatever you have on hand)
• Handful of frozen strawberries, mango or banana
• Yogurt or silken tofu to taste
• Squirt of honey or flavored coffee creamer

1. Puree lettuce and juice in a blender.

2. Add remaining ingredients and process to desired consistency. The frozen fruit keeps it cold and thickens it up. Yummy!
