Yes, as odd as it sounds, we spend three days a week watching hundreds of leaves fall off the heads of lettuce in the packing area, and they wind up in the compost bins. But by Jake the Elder's mention, we rallied together and saved those good leaves for a lunchtime potluck of our own.
homemade croutons
salad dressing
avocado . . . cheese . . . olives and
pickled green tomatoes filled the table.
Everyone got to create their own custom salad, making lunchtime a little less boring and far more resourceful that anyone thought it could be.
