Garden Salads For Summertime Meals
What could be a more refreshing dish to compliment your favorite grilled dishes, deck dinners, or even a to-go salads for picnics, beach or boating with a Lunch In A Jar.
Fennel brings the refreshing flavors, carrots – the substance, and the addition of dried sour cherries is… well, the cherry on top!
Fennel and Carrots In My Garden
These ingredients are available nearly year round, but we particularly enjoy their crisp freshness with our favorite grilled dishes.
For this reason I tried growing them in a small area in my yard. I am new to gardening but I can’t express the joy I felt to see these beautiful, sometimes expensive vegetables grow with little care right in my own yard.

I believe the table... that place that draws people to gather, is the most powerful symbol of togetherness. All that happens before the table is set, the planning, the gathering, the preparing, are all an intricate part of the dance that create the mood of celebration to share with friends and loved ones.
