I could choose I would
always greet it in a
garden.”

Harvest of
The Month

Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamin A, C, K and folate. All of which help maintain healthy blood, bones and skin. The most common type of
broccoli sold in the U.S. is called sprouting
broccoli.
Menu items featuring broccoli:
Steamed Broccoli-March 11 & 23
Broccoli Salad-March 19
Daily on the Salad Bar

March is Broccoli Month

RECIPE OF THE MONTH

Chef in
Training

Broccoli Salad

Yield: 7 cup servings
Ingredients:

Broccoli, raw 1 lb Mayo 1/2 cup
Onion, yellow diced 1/2 medium Vinegar, cider 1/4 cup
Raisins 1/2 cup Sugar 1/4 cup
Salt 1/2 tsp Pepper 1/4 tsp

Local Farmer Spotlight

SMUCKER’S GRAPES

Directions:
Cut broccoli florets into bite size pieces then pour into a large bowl.
Add raisins and onions.
Prepare dressing (mayo, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper).
Pour dressing over vegetable and raisin mixture at least two hours before serving.
Stir and chill.
When serving, take care to continue mixing the salad because the raisins and dressing can fall to the bottom of the salad.
Serve and enjoy!

The peanut butter and jelly sandwich on our menu is a local product provided by Smucker’s. Smucker’s harvest their grapes from the Yakima Valley and the Columbia Basin. This allows them to take advantage of the diverse agriculture and quality soil in the region. For the best flavor they wait until the grapes have reached their full maturity before harvesting. Within twelve hours of harvesting, grapes are shipped to Grandview, Washington to be processed.
