I was searching around this morning for new salad recipes, because we all need to eat more greens! This is also a great time to plant some greens of your own. In our Holistic DIVA Herb Farm and Garden we are planting loads of greens and herbs.
I found this yum-yum on Two Peas and their Pod
Ingredients
For the salad:
- 8 heads little gem lettuce bottom 1-inch trimmed off and separated into leaves (you can also use butter lettuce)
