Garden Salad

Those of you who know me, know that I love to read food blogs. Among my favorites is Smitten Kitchen. I turn to it for recipe inspiration, wonderful writing, and fabulous food photography.

This week's entry features a chopped salad with feta, mint and lime. It calls for three cups of chopped crunchy vegetables and so I made a trip out to the garden: beets, beans, cucumbers, squash, carrots, plus a sprinkling of mint leaves. The tangy dressing is made with lime, olive oil and chili pepper. Toasted sunflower seeds and a bit of crumbled feta cheese top it off. Pretty to look at; delicious to eat.

Bon Appétit.
