It's Thanksgiving and I've already prepared my menu and bought my ingredients. Then the romaine lettuce warning comes out. I throw away my romaine. Now what? I go to the grocery and the produce shelves where the lettuce usually sits is virtually empty! Well, there are 3 sad looking bags of shredded iceberg. I grab one of them. What else can I find? I think about the packaged salads but they are also gone. No, wait. There is one Asian mix and one Asiago Kale that has brussels sprouts, kale, and radicchio in it. I grab that one. What can I add? I grab a tub of baby arugula. The tiny leaves are a similar size to the ones in the kale mix.
I head to the dairy section and find a tub of blue cheese. In the nut section I find a package of pecans. I head back to produce. I think I need something fruity. A pear. Good. And what's this? It's a container called Juicy Gems - fresh pomegranate arils. I think back to my trip to China last Christmas. Definitely in season and they'd be pretty. I grab one of those. I also grab a bottle of raspberry walnut dressing. I think I'm good to go!
