The best part about having a garden is the food we get from it.
Now we have fresh herbs, tomatoes, peppers (well one, which we didn't get to before the pests), and soon, cucumbers. I can't get over the delicious flavor of a tomato right off the vine.
I had a garden salad for lunch, made with leftover grilled asparagus and peppers, romaine, kalamata olives, and two little tomatoes from our garden. Even if you don't grow your own, perhaps you'd like to try this simple garden herb dressing we created with the fresh herbs from our garden. Just emulsify these ingredients with a hand blender.
Garden Herb Dressing
Serves 4 to 6 depending on the size of the salad servings
1/4 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Handful of fresh herbs (we used basil and parsley)
1 clove of garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Enjoy!
