Tired of salads that taste like bottled preservatives? The Global Village Club is excited to host the next Healthy Eating Group class, “Seasonal Salads with Fresh Ingredients” on Tuesday, April 29 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Montgomery Center. In this demonstration-style class I hope to change the way you think about salad—and what goes on top of it.
My class is for anyone who wants to eat better without sacrificing flavor. The spotlight? Homemade salad dressings—easy, vibrant, and made from ingredients you can pronounce.
Most store-bought dressings are packed with preservatives, sugars, and cheap oils that dull your palate and compromise your health. I will show you how to whip up several fresh dressings using spring produce and pantry staples—each ready in minutes. I want you to learn how to build a classic vinaigrette and then take it further. My mother didn’t have a recipe to give me—I learned by watching and doing. The basic vinaigrette is three parts oil to one part vinegar, plus salt and pepper. After that, you can add Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, and much more… the list is endless.
This is a relaxed, watch-and-learn evening filled with useful tips, live tastings, and a few great stories. You get a chance to see just how delicious my fresh sourdough bread is when paired with these wonderful salads. I will give you a spring market guide, printed recipes to take home, along with a renewed love for real salad.
Reserve your spot and give your greens the dressing they deserve. RSVP by emailing globalvcclub@gmail.com and please use “Healthy Eating” in the subject line.
