Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large bowl, combine the Farmer's Greens, peeled and grated Carrots, and diced Tomato. Toss gently to mix.

  2. 2

    Shred the Cheese

    Using a cheese grater, shred the White Cheddar Cheese and set it aside.

Pickled Onions Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Pickled Onions

    Thinly slice the Red Onion and place it in a clean jar. In a small saucepan, combine Apple Cider Vinegar, Water, Sugar, and Salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve. Pour the hot mixture over the onions in the jar, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let sit for at least 30 minutes or longer for more flavor.
