I love this time of the year! Salad from the garden without any store-bought added veggies is a luxury.
I made this salad a few days ago, harvested in the late afternoon and ate it for supper – you can’t get it any fresher unless you just stand out in the garden stuffing your face!
Ingredients are, clockwise from the radishes:
Fresh from the garden
- Cherry Belle Radish
- White Icicle Radish
- Egyptian Walking Onions
- Baby Romaine Lettuce
- Tendergreen Mustard Greens
- Outredgeous Lettuce
- Tyee Spinach, and
- Sorrel
You can’t see it but there’s also a sweet little green known variously as Corn Salad, Vit and Mache.
And this is the finished salad – so fresh it almost slapped me!
Want some?
Yummy – I’d love some, it looks so amazingly fresh and ready to eat!
Can’t beat growing your own and serving it up on the table for everyone to enjoy, knowing you are giving your family the absolute best.
looks delicious!!! i like to add fresh lemon juice to my salads
I love spring
I stand out in the garden and munch down my arugula…can’t wait til my peas are ready!!
Beautiful!
What a feast! Our lettuce have now bolted so I need to get some more planted
I can’t get all my salad stuff to be ready at the same time. Still something is better than nothing
PiP
I usually end up adding store-bought produce to my salads too – it’s not often I have such a nice variety of things ready at once.
Gorgeous. So funny — did it slap you or did you eat it too fast?
So great to have all that variety from your own garden. Lovely.
I chomped it down pretty quickly – so fresh and delicious!
