| Armenian Salad: A Tomato Story, featuring Balakian Farms |
A simple salad, bursting with summer flavor, reveals a deep story of farming, family, and heritage. In this new video, fourth-generation farmer Amber Balakian takes us behind the scenes and into the fields to meet the people behind Balakian Farms. She then meets with Kate Leahy, coauthor of the cookbook Lavash, who shares how to make a traditional Armenian salad, using a rainbow of the Balakians’ vine-ripened heirloom tomatoes.
You can support Balakian Farms at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market in San Francisco on Saturdays, while tomato season lasts! |
