The first harvest of lettuce was made this week...It was tasty. Butter leaf lettuce mixed with romaine and a bit of cheese and some roasted turkey. By next week I am hoping to harvest a bit of basil to mix with the lettuce adding a touch of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Which is naturally Gluten Free!
Salad Dressing Recipe:
1/3 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
1 Teaspoon each
Oregano, Basil and Rosemary ground well. If using fresh reduce the amount to 1/2 as the flavor is more intense than dried.
You can add some cold sliced hard-boiled egg, left over cooked meat, cheese and garbanzo beans.
Enjoy!

Les Jardin
The garden is growing well. I can see the tomatoes starting to grow on the vines....
There is nothing finer than a real tomato with flavor.
By itself with a bit of sea salt, on a burger, or with olive oil, spices and fresh mozzarella and basil.
The next meal we are cooking is the foods of Spain. Hopefully the tomatoes will be ready! Everyone is so excited about the fact I am growing 4 types of tomatoes that I had to go and buy some more plants.
I also planted shallots, zucchini, pumpkins, walla-walla sweet onions, carrots, green beans, peas, popcorn, sweet corn, sunflowers, watermelon, butternut squash and soon 3 types of potatoes.
I love zucchini sauteed in a bit of butter then scrambled with eggs topped with Parmesan cheese and fresh tomatoes on the side.
This is a fantastic summer treat. If you can not grow your own stop by a farmers market and pick them up and make it at home.
You can also add spinach if you are not a zucchini fan.
