Today in my Live Healthy America class our lesson was on gardening! Every student said this was their favorite lesson so far this year! We learned that it is a good option to grow your own garden because it is inexpensive, easily accessible and organic! This way you can get fresh fruits and veggies right from your yard or community garden plot and not have to buy fruits and veggies that have been on a truck for thousands of miles with chemicals and additives on them. We learned about the different types of gardens which include a raised bed, square foot, or container garden. There are also community gardens and backyard gardens. Community gardens are ideal for people who have little land on their property, or live in an apartment or condo.
The recipe that we made was a Tofu Ranch dressing. We cut up cucumbers, carrots, peppers, and beets to put on our salad along with the dressing. All of the students loved how colorful their salads looked and thought it had an amazing taste! Here is the recipe below.
