My Simple Salad


The simple things in life are often the best!  As I ate my salad at lunch time today I had a feeling of pure enjoyment.  I have grown every vegetable, apart from the olives and made a salad dressing from olive oil, balsamic vinegar and lemon juice.  My salad tasted amazing!  I never would have imagined the pure satisfaction a simple meal could accomplish.  The best ingredient is the love for gardening and being able to walk into my backyard “shop” and pick fresh ingredients, then prepare my food and relax to enjoy the creation.  My chickens get to eat all the vegetable scraps, which completes this wonderful cycle.    My favourite is an egg salad that my chickens have helped create.
