I cannot say I was over the moon w/ my bounty..but the taste was good:) and it's cute:)
I took advantage of it to make 2 favorite salads lately~
A no egg mock Caesar..
And a Greek Salad~
I truly enjoy both..
The mock Caesar dressing is so easy~
It's all in my head though!
Hellman's Light Mayo
Lemon Juice
Fresh Garlic
Parmesan Cheese
Anchovy paste
Worcesterchire sauce
Salt and Pepper
I start w/ the mayo and then go according to taste..we top it off w/ J's home made croûtons..and his gets an extra sprinkling of real anchovies~Not mine..the paste..suffices:)
And the Greek Salad..
Is all up to you also..
Red onions..
Kalamata olives
Cucumber
Fresh tomatoes
Red peppers
Fresh Garlic
Feta
Oregano
EVOO
S and P
I combine all and then place on a bed of lettuce~ Top w/ Nasturtiums.. ~
The garlic makes these dishes for me..
and not necessarily mine~
Taken at Twilight:)~
Wow, homegrown! Fruits of your labour. The salads must taste extra special this way :)

Very cute garlic... Photography is excellent! Greek salad is my all time favorite. I always ask for extra olives...Truth be known, I could just eat a bowl of olives. We traveled today and went to the theatre, as we were driving I mentioned to my husband something about your blog and how much I enjoyed it and you. He found that a little odd since we had never met. I told him you can know a person by the photos they take and the words they share...Maybe women are better intuitivley then men in that respect, ANYWAY...If your ears were ringing today...that is why!! Ha!, xoxo~Kathy~ Up-North
ReplyDeleteGreat photos as always Nana! Oh, and the recipes look fantastic as well!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet Kathy!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure all of your ears have rung too!!:)
I've loved that mock Caesar dressing since I first tried it several years ago. It's the only one I make now - tried and true.
ReplyDeleteI will have to try growing garlic next year! I so enjoyed growing little onions - similar cuteness :)
Garlic - Couldn't live without it! I've never tried to grow it though. Another thing to add to my list. I follow in your footsteps!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
