Weekly Wellness Tip: Spring-time brings about salads at EHM


At the Evangelical Homes of Michigan-Saline we had a fresh and healthy "Farro, Lentils, and Apricot Salad with Pecans." Since April 1st is "Whole Grain Sampling Day" we decided to have this salad in honor of whole grain day. Since most people aren't familiar about what farro is it was a great opportunity to educate our customers on the health benefits of the ingredients in this salad. Christina Weber provided nutrition information as customers came to try this colorful and healthy salad! Some of the main ingredients included dried apricots, lentils, parsley,farro, and a tasty gorgonzola and Greek yogurt dressing. Spring is in the air and so are the salads here at the Evangelical Homes of Michigan.
