Asian Garden Salad

Day 258

Asian Garden Salad

From the Garden

Laura's garden is growing and some of the plants are already ready to harvest. The lettuce in particular needed to be thinned out and there are always tons of scallions. We also picked some kale and a couple radishes, which went amazingly well with the Asian dressing.

We also added to our salad some slivered almonds from the Bulk Barn which we toasted in a dry frying pan and a some Mandarin oranges from Sobeys. Laura topped hers with some Farkin chowmein noodles, too.

Reviews/Comments

This meal was absolutely delicious and gets a 10 from both of us. The only downside is the prep time, since all the veggies had to be washed well, then dried, and chopped. But, it's worth the time. So fantastic.
