Ode to our Florida Garden’s Lettuce:

Oh lettuce, you fed us so well,
From September to May, your greens were swell.
Now your long season is done,
Back to the store for lettuce we unfortunately run.

Ingredients:

1 lb cooked chicken, chopped
1 bag lettuce greens
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 c almonds, chopped
2 T curry powder (or more, if preferred)
1/4 c mayo
dash of crushed red peppers
S&P
1/4 c dried cranberries

Instructions:

Mix the chopped chicken with the onions, almonds, curry powder, crushed red peppers, S&P and mayo. Stir in the almonds and cranberries after. Place on a bed of lettuce, or between two slices of hearty wheat bread if desired. It makes a great summer lunch for those growing fresh greens.
