Carson City's Green Dining District is participati Carson City's Green Dining District is participating in Earth Week's Sustainable Menu April 24-30! 🌷🌎🍽

Sustainable menu items include dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, seasonal foods, plant-based meals, and upcycled food – among other solutions. 

Visit @sojuicy.juice for a healthy ‘Seasonal Salad’ featuring spinach, kale, carrots, cucumber, green onion, red onion, radishes, and artichoke. All the ingredients in So Juicy’s Seasonal Salad are locally seasonal to our Nevada desert climate between the Spring months of March to June. 

@greatbasincarson will be offering their locally made ‘Sausage Sampler’ between 3PM – 6PM with your choice of 2 of 4 sausages. One of which is Great Basin’s Icky Beer Brat Sausage, which upcycles their iconic Icky Beer into a curated sausage packed with flavor all while reducing food waste.

@squeezein will be serving a ‘Veggie Hash’ special during Green Dining District’s Earth Week featuring zucchini, white onion, tomato, and topped with black beans. Eating plant-based meals reduces the environmental stressors that raising livestock has on natural resources.
