We created this page to share cold, no-cook recipes that support students and community members who prepare meals without full kitchen access. It offers easy recipes using TFFJ fresh produce, extra resources, simple tools you can use anywhere, and places to find more ideas.
Our goal is to make preparing something fresh feel possible wherever you are.
A knife or kitchen scissors for chopping greens and other ingredients.
A bowl or container for washing and mixing ingredients.
A strainer or clean cloth to rinse produce.
A jar or cup with a lid to shake dressings.
A fork or spoon for mixing and mashing ingredients.
A cutting board or any clean, flat surface for prep.
Rinsing, drying well, and storing in a sealed container can help greens last longer.
If available, a blender can be helpful for smoothies and purees.
