Groundbreaking for the new Barnes County North School campus took place Monday, July 9. The site is on High-
way 9, to the south and west of Leal. The building is to be ready for the start of classes in the fall of 2013, for students
pre-kindergarten through grade 12. Pictured, from left, are school board members Kyle Petersen, Chip Steckler, Jason

I
ts the beginning of my
favorite time of year
when shopping for
supper takes place in the
garden. Days are hot; nights
smell like heaven, and an
assortment of greens make
for wonderful summer
salads.
Im not talking about
head lettuce and ranch
dressing rather, summer
salads are full of textures
and tastes and need little or
no dressing to be enjoyed.
Packed with vitamins and
favor, easy-to-prepare sum-
mer salads can be a com-
plete supper in our house.
So lets come to the table
in the next few weeks and
enjoy the labors of our gar-
deners and farmers.
Unlike store-bought
heads of lettuce, which my
friends and I commonly
refer to as solid water
because it has no taste and
little nutritional value,
garden greens are quite the
opposite.
Some common greens
include spinach, kale, chard,
mesclun mixes and leaf
lettuces of all varieties and
colors.
People laugh when I say
I plant mesclun mixes
which simply means a mix-
ture of greens ranging from
red oak leaf lettuce to dif-
ferent mustards, raddcicio,
endive and arugula. Flavors
are mild, bitter, mustardy
and spicy. Put them all
together and wow - favor
sensation
salad.
Lettuces
are cold
weather
crops and if
you are an
early-bird
planter like
myself, you
have already depleted your
supply of leaf lettuces, rad-
ishes and peas. But, now Im
into Swiss chard, everlast-
ing spinach, kale and garlic
scapes.
Many non-gardeners have
never heard about garlic
scapes. Not to let anything
go to waste, gardeners and
fne chefs use the scapes,
which are removed from
garlic plants as soon as they
curl, in lieu of garlic. Tey
are very spicy and can be
used chopped, sauted and/
or ground into a fne pesto.
(Just learned that this week-
end from a local farmer).
So go to your farmers
market or your garden and
get some greens to enjoy
this simple recipe that
EVERYONE loves. And
trust me when I tell you
it is much healthier than
dousing greens with bottled
dressings.
INGREDIENTS:
Fresh washed greens.
Wash, spin dry and store in
refrigerator.
Peas, radishes or any
other veggies you may have
(doesnt matter where you
got them) chopped or diced
and sliced.
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Garlic one or two toes.
Salt regular or sea
Dry Mustard
Pepper
DIRECTIONS: Peel the
garlic toes and crush on a
cutting board with the back
of a heavy spoon or knife
blade. Cover with salt (tea-
spoon or so depending on
how large the salad.) Grind
the garlic and salt together
into a paste. Put the paste
into a small jar and add
black pepper and mustard
to taste.
Stir in cup olive oil
(once again depends on the
size of the salad), and mix
well. When you are ready
to serve the salad, douse the
greens with the olive oil mix-
ture and stir until all leaves
are coated. Sprinkle with
vinegar to taste and serve
immediately.
Your family will love it.
