Salad Season

Salads are always a healthy addition to any meal, but, especially in warm weather they can take center stage as the main course.  When it's hot, we naturally tend to eat lighter, and, there is something so very refreshing about a good salad.  Mix up fresh greens, add a delicious tomato, carrots, cucumber, some chicken chunks and a good dressing and you have a yummy main course.  At Village Kitchenware, we have some handy gadgets that will make putting a salad together a snap.

It is always a good idea to rinse your lettuce and other greens thoroughly, even more important these days with news stories about bacterial outbreaks.  No one really enjoys a soggy salad, and, there is a simple solution for this problem.  Try a Salad Spinner, this ingenious little device does it all.  Just put your greens into the basket, rinse them thoroughly, then crank the handle on top.  The spinning motion of the inner compartment gently whisks the water away for a perfect salad.

You have seen it on TV, but, have you tried it?  The SaladShooter Slicer Shredder really does save time and energy.  It comes with slicer and shredder cones, just feed the food into the top, aim the shooter at your bowl and press the button.  It is just as easy as it sounds and it is very simple to clean, just wipe the base clean and put the rest in the dishwasher.  The SaladShooter also grates cheese, nuts, slices fruit and comes in handy when making soup, pizza, tacos or dessert.
