Cobb Salad Recipe: Ingredients: - 4 strips of bacon - 3 eggs - 4 beets - 5 radishes - Handful of sliced pickles - 1/4 cup of blue cheese - 2 heads of your favorite lettuces - 1 lemon - 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon of fermented mustard - 1 tablespoon of honey - Salt and pepper to taste - Reserved bacon fat - Reserved oil from roasted beets Instructions: 1. Lay the bacon down in a single layer in an air fryer. Cook for 10 minutes at 375F. 2. In the meantime, get a pot of boiling water and hard boil your eggs. Boil for 10 minutes. 3. Once the bacon has finished cooking, remove them from the air fryer and save the rendered fat from the bottom of the air fryer into a small container. Dunk your hard boiled eggs into an ice bath and let sit. 4. In the meantime, cut the root and tops off the beets and place them into a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle over some bacon grease along with salt and pepper. Air fry for about 350F for 25-30 minutes. 5. Move onto prepping the rest of your ingredients. Slice your radish into thin pieces. Roughly chop up your bacon strips and pickle slices. Peel the shell off your eggs and give them a rough chop. Set everything aside. 7. Once the beets are done, take the skin off and cut into bite sized pieces. Set aside. 8. To a jar, squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon, apple cider vinegar, fermented mustard, honey, the grease from the bacon, the juice from the roasted beets, salt and pepper to taste. Close the lid and give it a good shake to emulsify. 9. Roughly chop all your lettuce and place into a large bowl. Add in your chopped eggs, sliced bacon, sliced radish, roasted beets, blue cheese, chopped pickles and pour over your dressing. 10. Using your clean hand or tongs, give everything a gentle toss to coat every single item in the dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Pouring water through the leaves to drain is just going to get more dirt trapped. Much more efficient to do a 2 bowl method: wash in a bowl with enough water that there's a enough clear water space at the bottom, wait a few minutes for all the dirt to settle to the bottom, then pluck the leaves out into the 2nd bowl and do it again. If it's supermarket leaves, you can go direct from the bowl to the spinner but for home grown lettuce, good to do a 2nd bowl just to confirm all the dirt is completely off.

A scandal, if you ask me. :)) You shouldt try to make a mayo out of it, with a very soft vinegar like homemade applecider, cut thin slices of beef (carpaccio, steak stuff, but raw), cover the plate with the mayo and lay the thin sliced beef on it.

You can grow lettuce in the summer - this is how - just like you use a cold frame for cold nights, you need an overhead dark tent to shade during the hot sun. With the sides open for morning and evening sun is all your lettuce needs - or if you have a tree for summer shade. If your lettuce is bitter it wasn't pampered enough keep up on water. Head lettuce is not a good summer choice. Lastly, if your lettuce bolts or become bitter - the greens taste wonderful when cooked.

I've got my favorite type of lettuce (curly green, a.k.a. Lollo Bionda) growing spontaneously all around the garden like a weed, I simply let a few plants flower and spread naturally each season, in my climate it completes two full life cycles every year (and fall seeds survive winter on the ground without any intervention). It doesn't interfere much with my other crops and can even draw some leaf munching pests away from more delicate plants.

Lettuce can be grown indoors using LED lights, which don't cost as much to run as a lamp on your desk that isn't LED. When I lived in an apartment there was no way I could garden unless I grew indoors. I used the Kratky Method during that time. It was easy and barely made a dent on my electric bill. I grew other types of greens that way too. I didn't need a bunch of space because I grew everything on one of those wire shelving racks up against a wall. The shelf only took up about 4ft of wall space. Even fertilizing was cheap because of the Kratky Method. I didn't need to use much at all. So, I guess it's all a matter of perspective and going a little outside the box. :)

I'm not even that poor but just the cost of housing/renting got ridiculous here, compared to all other things. I'm so anxious every day... we rent 2 ppl no kids, both stable incomes and I'm still never sure if I'm safe. Knowing I'll never have a chance to inherit a place to live is daunting.

That would depend entirely on the type of lettuce you're talking about. Also, we are supposed to get a fairly significant portion of our daily fluids from our food, so it's not a bad thing that lettuce has lots of water content. We also get a lot of both types of Fibre from it (and of those diff varieties depending on the type of greens), for which most N.A.'s only get about 1/4 of the daily RDA.....so again not a bad idea to eat lettuces and greens and growing them yourself also means you are harvesting right before eating giving the highest nutrient density possible. They may be mostly a vehicle for other things...but that's not a bad thing considering.

I only just started gardening 4-5 years ago. At first, I was overexcited to grow all of the things. Now I only grow varieties I can’t easily get at the store or high dollar items. Greens and herbs of all sorts are definitely the biggest bang for your buck.

Another alternative is "Alfalfa Sprouts" grown in containers. I have grown these year round indoors and have greens for salad and sandwiches even in the dead of winter!

It's funny how I can grow tomatoes or peppers with no problem, but "easy" crops like lettuce just seem to hate me for some reason

lol when you pulled out the industrial salad spinner! Love it! And, that salad looks so delicious!

My 1 rogue lettuce that volunteered in my Raspberry Barrels produced thousands of seeds! Found it today- and harvest the entire thing. Thrashed it on a large tray- removed the grubs and fed to birds, and was able to save thousands of seeds just from one plant! Got about 8 packets worth of lettuce seeds just from 1 plant!!!

Do you grow spinach? I've been growing in my apartment. I'm just wondering how you prune dead leaves so I can make room for new leaves

Absolutely love how you edited the chopping

Problem is it doesn't last long. When the temps go up it bolts quick. When the temps go down it stops growing. Been doing it 40 years. Still beats store bought. Don't know what Zone 7b you're in but 7b east coast with or without cover no way 9 months out of the year

I am in Hungary, June is usually bolting time, no matter what. Plus since I live in a very agricultural surrounding where they grow a lot of canola I have a plethora of this tiny beetles, that destroy every plant thats in the brassica family plus every salad crop. I could use the leaves as a sieve. Its frustrating. And I do everything I can think of, to work arround that problem, but......they are millions....literally. 😪
