After our students enjoyed their YUMMY lettuce wraps, they were able to take some of the extra fresh ingredients home. When asked if they ate the lettuce they harvested at Charter Oak at home, here is what they said:
Juan: "I ate the lettuce in sandwiches, with cucumbers."
Becca: "I had the lettuce in a salad with Italian dressing and carrots."
Egyptia: "I ate the lettuce like a wrap like we made in Putting Down Roots, with carrots, bell peppers, chicken breast and bacon ranch dressing."
Shahairy: "I ate it in a salad with onions, peppers and with the chives from our garden, too."
Kayla and Nashaly: "We ate the lettuce in a salad with our family. We also used the basil and chives from our garden in the salad. We added tomatoes and Italian dressing."
