It's a common struggle for every mom to get kids to eat more veggies. However...

And what is more trustworthy than 100% homegrown nutrient-rich organic? That's the way the has Lord made it, and it is good!

Please be warned that this salad simply does not taste as it should if you make it out of store-bought vegetables. Even store-bought organic produce doesn't seem to hold the same natural vegetable flavors that homegrown produce offers. So, take advantage of this in-season fresh produce and give this deliciousness a try!
