Organic salad from the permaculture garden

We are lucky enough to enjoy salad from our organic garden on a daily basis. We currently grow two different types of lettuce, arugula, basil, cucumber, tomato, and carrot. All combine for a fantastic mixed greens salad.Astri makes a wonderful salad dressing to go with our fresh greens.

Astri’s Salad Dressing:

This dressing recipe is simple, quick, and easy to make at home.

• Juice from 4 to 5 limes.
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons mustard
• 4 tablespoons honey
• A small piece of ginger (to taste)

Combine all ingredients and stir until smooth and well blended. This light and flavorful dressing does not overstep its bounds and mask the many tastes of vegetables. It lends itself softly and combines nicely with any salad. Enjoy!
