It is always fun this time of the year to go out to the garden and come in to the kitchen and create a new recipe. Today I had a few squash, tomatoes and peppers. I always have herbs on hand so we can create some very tasty vinaigrette. When I finally got it into the salad bowl it was just delicious and a salad that we will just love. I took it to a ladies covered dish luncheon and all the ladies loved the salad, so to all you ladies that wanted the recipe it is here today!

Spring is here and I am so excited, some of my favorite are spring vegetables straight from the garden. We love vegetables and salads and rarely have a meal here at the cottage without vegetables and or salads. These are some of our favorite Salads and Sides and you will find these recipes on many of our spring menu's. I hope you can find some wonderful vegetables at your local farmers market or in your own garden.
