A pretty salad? Why not?

I have to admit I am very proud of my garden. Although I can not take much credit for the early spring tiling and prepping, and even some planting, I do take good care of my garden afterwards. I learned that if I do not pick the goodies every other day, the zucchini and cucumbers turn to be the size of baseball bats…

So now it is the time to brag about my assorted summer salad…What goes in it? Almost anything that grows in my garden: tomatoes, cukes, kale, lettuce, peppers, onions, a mélange of colors and flavors, enhanced by the fresh basil, olive oil and vinegar. What makes my salad even prettier? Well, flowers! For the first time we got nasturtium growing in our flower bed, so I added a couple of these edible flowers to my salad, check out this picture!
