Spring Greens Salad w/ Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing
Common Salad Green Chart We've had some very hot weather the past week or so...I'm talking 80+F! It seems like we skipped right over Spring and went two feet into Summer. While I'm not complaining, it has been very nice and sunny, I wasn't quite expecting this so soon. Luckily our garden is over-joyed about the weather blossoming, sprouting and blooming. This has lead to an abundance of leafy greens, perfect for light Spring/Summer Salads on these hot days. Since we are growing our vegetables for Summer, I like to grow a wide variety of leafy greens so as not to get bored.

I've never seen Thai green aubergines in the UK, the next time I go into the big city over the border of Wales - Bristol, I will go to the Oriental Cash and Carry and see if they have some, your recipe looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll really like them they are so versatile, and tasty. Pick them like apples, if they are mushy stay away, they should be firm with very little give. Do let me know when you try them! :)

ReplyDeleteWe did not like this at all. It's completely lacking flavor. I ended up making curry and putting the vegetables in that. I love eggplant and this had absolutely no flavor at all. It barely has any ginger or garlic and is flavored with soy sauce
