Just another delicious summer salad made with local lettuce and tomatoes. But the star of the dish is, of course, the chicken salad on top. It’s so simple to make, and wonderfully flavorful.

hum..wonder if almonds would be good…not a fan of pine nuts. or even better..cashews
So jealous. I have a few green ones out there now. And I also have a small green pepper (so cute!) I did 2 raised bed gardens this year and so far I am loving them. They are about 20 inches high, so they help out with easy weeding and are less taxing on my back/knees.
We are hoping to move into 5 raised bed gardens next year, around our fire pit and also add a small chicken coop in the back of the yard. If our yard was a little bigger we'd get bees, but with the 4 kiddos we feel its better to not have them for now.
I just harvested my first tomatoes from our own garden yesterday! A whole
huge bowl… will have to post a picture. Hope yours start soon!
The whole dish looks really yummy, but man those tomatoes look AWESOME! Cant wait till we get tomatoes at our farmers markets up here in Cleveland. . . And then my garden will start producing. YUM!
