The Salad Mixer

We are very happy to announce that we passed out over 750 fresh made salad at the 2nd Annual Salad Mixer! 
Much thanks to the four restaurants who participated in the Salad Mixer, Slate St. Café, Flying Star, Farina Pizzeria and Green Bar.
Chefs were provided with 8 pounds of mixed salad greens and $25 to shop for fresh produce at the market.  Each chef returned to their home kitchen to prepare an extraordinary one-of-a-kind salad for the market.  We were pleasantly surprised with each chef’s secret ingredients and salad dressings.  Everyone who participated left the market happy, healthy and full of salad.  Much thanks to those of you who donated to the market, we raised over $105 at the event.
