Earth Day Friday April 22, 2022
A favorite for our Chefs is this Asian inspired Rainbow Noodle Salad! It is an easy and delicious dish to make for Earth Day. We love to use the ingredients in our garden to expand our students knowledge and excite their love for food. So many crops offer a variety of uses which allow for multiple harvest from a single plant. This allows for a more sustainable crop and is great for our planet.
When we made this rainbow noodle salad in class, students worked on their multitasking and knife skills to prep the vegetables & herbs. They cooked the noodles, chopped all the veggies, and made the dressing.
