I was craving an Italian salad and needed something besides watermelon all the time. So I made this and let me tell you, I am NEVER going back to those classic blah salads. Actually, I haven’t eaten salad in probably 3-4 months… so this was great. Simple, quick, and made from what was in my garden –...

Recipe Directions

-Of course with salad you don’t need exact measurements so feel free to tweak and perfect this to your liking.

2-3 big handfuls of dark leafy greens

1-2 handfuls of spinach

1-3 handfuls of other greens (I’m not sure what lettuce I have in my garden but it’s light in color and looks like a maple leaf gone extreme…?)

4 tablespoons whole cilantro

2-4 raw asapargus stalks

Dill

Button mushroom

Handful of chives

Zuchini

Ginger root

Salt and crushed black pepper

Cold pressed olive oil

Mmk, I just rip everything up with my hands (I leave some spinach whole), chop the zuchini and mushrooms into paper thin chips/disks, scrape some ginger (not much at all) with the back of my knife, drizzel oil and crush pepper and salt over it until it tastes like I want. Told you it was super easy. :)

I was craving an Italian salad and needed something besides watermelon all the time. So I made this and let me tell you, I am NEVER going back to those classic blah salads. Actually, I haven’t eaten salad in probably 3-4 months… so this was great. Simple, quick, and made from what was in my garden – with a little help – with the easiest seasonings: salt, pepper, and oil.

The picture is of the salads Conner and I were eating at the time, we’re already eaten half, so don’t think this is a small salad!

Do you think you could put this in ingredient format? I don't even know how to read this...I know that sounds silly, but really this is so jumbled, I don't even want to read it. But it looks like it would be good!

Yeah, sorry. It was. This site is funny and always messes the layout up. I know what you mean though with not wanting to read it. I agree with that. :)
