During the summer we eat a lot of salads…. usually lunch and dinner have a salad component, if they don’t end up being one huge salad. Cool…crisp…refreshing and so versatile, salads are a great go-to (especially when you are working for home and have to construct lunch during a virtual meeting, video off, of course).
Add to this the fact that it is July and my garden is starting to produce herbs and veggies (we have a later season here at 8800 ft). We are in salad heaven.
My kids don’t eat anything on their salads…no dressing…just plain. Go figure. I am fond of ketchup (I know, I know…it’s wield I’ve been told). But…we are trying to branch out for my husband’s sake. He will eat an unadorned salad but…. give him a delicious homemade dressing, and he lights up.
So…starting with basil from the garden….
Add some seasonings, oil, and such…
Blend.
Keep blending.
Serve over chickpeas and kale (not from the garden….it died – if anyone knows how to grow kale well in Colorado, let me know your secret!).
Enjoy!
