End of Summer Salad

The freshly grown fruits and vegetables of summer are almost gone. It is October after all. So what do you do with the garden dregs this time of the year? A few leftover cucumbers, tomatoes, celery…..

I love salads and eat them almost daily. A nice “end of harvest” salad is what I made for lunch recently.

What’s great about this salad is that you can use any ingredients you have in your garden. Earlier this summer, I made it with blueberries, snap peas, and broccoli. This year is the first time I tried growing broccoli. It matured nicely and had a wonderful flavor!
