About

My mom was an expert gardener, and try as I might, I’m personally a bit clumsy in this area. Each year I make promises to myself and do manage to come out with a few edibles, but really shouldn’t quit my day job, if you know what I mean. Whether you grow and harvest the vegetables for this salad yourself, the flavors in this gorgeously green bowl do all the heavy lifting and tilling to cultivate a freshly picked garden taste. (Bonus: no dirty fingernails or back spasms).
