Herbed Garden Salad with Goat Cheese
This salad shows off the bright flavor of fresh greens and fragrant herbs. Mix different kinds of greens—like bitter curly endive and radicchio, spicy watercress and arugula, and mild butter lettuce and baby spinach. If using lettuces from your garden, show the kids how to harvest them, then have them rinse and dry the greens and the herbs and toss the salad together.
