A fresh summer salad on a wooden plate, layered with peaches, avocados, feta cheese, on a bed of greens and herbs.
A stone table lit by golden late afternoon light with a serving plate of heirloom cherry tomato, peach, and burrata cheese salad, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and fresh purple basil.
A plate of grilled summer vegetables topped with grilled smoked mozzarella.
A white plate piled with an avocado, egg, and arugula salad, with a sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper
An oval platter on an indigo printed tablecloth filled with arugula and spring greens, cucumber, and cherries with a long smear of whipped feta and drizzled with a red pomegranate balsamic vinaigrette.

For me, summer is salad. I love the luxury of being able to walk outside and gather bunches of greens and fruits and vegetables for dinner. There are endless delicious and healthy options. Fresh, beautiful, summer salads come together in snap. 

Growing the food that you eat, and the flowers you surround yourself with, is one of the healthiest and most satisfying things you can do for your body and your soul.

The older I get, the more I crave summer. Carefree and crazy. The garden overflowing with fruits and vegetables. Flowers everywhere. The frenzied days. Insects buzzing around. The heat. Perhaps that because I’m in Vermont and know how short but sweet this season is. I miss it almost as soon as it begins.
