This week the second graders talked about how transactions make up an economy and watched a short video about how farmers markets provide a simple, joyful way for producers and consumers to connect. In the kitchen, students worked together to make a miso-ginger dressing, which they ate with Little Gem and Red Butter lettuces.
The dressing gets its tang from ginger and rice vinegar; sweetness from apples, carrots, and mirin; and umami from miso and soy sauce. We can’t wait to share the students’ hard work with friends and family on April 18. One chef remarked, “We’re going to make a bajillion dollars this is so good!”
