Hello Blogosphere,
Things are blooming here in Sunny San Diego. I was so excited to make my first truly beautiful spring salad this weekend. Sometimes the simplest of foods can be a work of art!
This bad boy had: kale, arugula, chard, cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, red onion, green onion, blueberries, watermelon radishes, and chioggia beets.
DUDE chioggia beets are the coolest! Check them out:

I dressed this with a delightful peach and sesame seed salad dressing. Perfect for a warm spring evening. Best part of this salad? 100% organic. The tomatoes and onions were grown in our backyard and the rest is from our local CSA. Such a great feeling to eat well, eat healthy, and give back to our local community.
What do you put in your salads??
