Greek tomato salad! A stellar salad!

Greek Horiatki salad, a 4 star salad!

Summer and salads, with vegetables picked at the perfect moment we need them, that is what makes a perfect salad!

Not everyone has a garden which is the ideal way, but we make the best of the situation.

We look and see if there are any local farmers markets and we visit them, they are bursting with seasonal products, and it is like a celebration, the land celebrates a job well done with the different colors, textures and flavors, it’s like it’s saying to us, I am strong and no matter what you do to me I will still feed you and provide for you….You are not kind to me but I have staying power and I care for you…

I like to pick the gifts of the land myself and I am fortunate to have an farm very close to my house, what a delightful time I enjoy!
