Brandutainment™ pioneers O2 Media, welcome Tanimura & Antle, Inc., growers of leafy green vegetables in addition to cauliflower, broccoli, sweet red onions and celery. Make sure to tune in to ‘The Balancing Act’ August, 18th at 7:00am (ET/PT) as they air on Lifetime Television.

Special guest Rick Antle, third generation farmer with Tanimura & Antle joins The Balancing Act’s ‘myCuisine’ series to give viewers tips on designing beautiful, tasty and inspired recipes.

“Tanimura & Antle is pleased to be part of The Balancing Act and to share our family farming story, our commitment to improving school nutrition and offer some tried and true tips on how to make the perfect salad with farm fresh lettuces,”  says Antle.

Tanimura & Antle Artisan® Lettuce was developed to offer a unique variety of mature, petite whole head lettuces that offer an appetizing combination of flavor, texture and variety-- a superior choice over bagged salads and other cut blends.  These are proprietary seed varieties that their growers have developed to achieve unmatched flavor and texture combinations. Each protective clamshell is packed with a variety of red and green lettuces with unique textures and flavors for a truly versatile package of lettuce for salads, wraps and other meals.

Join Antle as he heads to The Balancing Act's kitchen to show how he incorporates their produce into a child’s lunchbox.  “I want to introduce to ‘The Balancing Act’ viewers a lunchbox chicken salad wrap.  I like sharing this recipe for two reasons.  First, it proves you don’t need a bowl in order to enjoy lettuce. Also, it reminds parents of something I believe deeply, which is that fresh vegetables are an essential part of school lunches for kids,” says Antle.  “With our fall Salad Smarts campaign we hope to increase awareness of the efforts of organizations that are working to improve nutrition in schools in the U.S. & Canada.

You’ll want to tune in as the meal Antle creates for the audience is an easy meal for parents to whip up the night before school.  “It’s easy for kids to take with them – and they don’t even need a fork,” he adds.

Tanimura & Antle encourages fans of Artisan Lettuce to be creative and use what they have in the pantry. Salads shouldn’t be complex, but simple and delicious, using fresh lettuce and a variety of healthy toppings.  For more information please visit http://www.taproduce.com and http://www.artisanlettuce.com.
