Summer Garden Salad.

 I love summertime.

I love being able to walk outside to my garden

and pick my meals.

And I love fresh summer salads.

Whisk up a vinaigrette, toss, and it's summer on a plate.

A chiffonade is a method of cutting
wherein you take a bunch of leaves,
stack them, roll 'em up like a cigar,
 slice across the cigar, and then fluff with fingertips to separate the shreds..
