I just chopped up a salad of all kinds of goodies from the garden and topped it off with homemade fresh, herbal Greek salad dressing that I made – it included Basil, yellow squash, zucchini, tomatoes, onions, garlic and much more are in the salad. The cool thing with a greek salad is that you kind of dump in a little bit of everything from your garden. Top it off with a bit of Feta cheese before serving and yummmmmmmm. All that fresh, raw food, just harvested………. life is good.
I took a Greek cooking class this winter that was offered through the extension service in Oregon. The owner of Alexander’s Greek Cuisine in Roseburg, Oregon taught us how to prepare several of his recipes. The most treasured for me is his Greek dressing. I will post it on the website when I can. It is easy, relatively simple and so delicious. Freshly grown herbs really set off the flavor of course.
That is one of the repeating themes you will see are methods and recipes for managing all the food that your garden can produce. I have developed some really great ways to enjoy and consume the tsunami of food that a healthy garden can pump out.
