Summer Garden Salad
By Aranna Hasan Delwar.
Adding a lot of summer's most new produce into a major serving of mixed greens is my #1 thing to do! This Late spring Nursery Salad has new corn straight off the cob, fresh cucumbers, simmered beets and more layered over a bed of lettuce and finished off with a zippy dressing. Doesn't beat that!
Come into my kitchen anytime during lunch and you'll without a doubt see me partaking in a huge serving of mixed greens. I love to scavenge through my refrigerator and toss a wide range of occasional foods grown from the ground on top of salad greens to make a good, solid, and delectable dinner for myself or my loved ones.
