What I should be eating

I spent the day at Patterson Springs Farm, and I remembered what I should be eating. How has it taken until mid-July before I actually change out of my winter diet? 

Anyways, the gluten free cornbread needs work, but the concept is right. The simple salad had spring greens, fresh basil, cherry tomatoes, toasted nuts and seeds, and avocado. The dressing was apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic and salt. The salad and dressing was just right.

Courgette salad

Farmers market today. Inspired by this salad. It's Jaime Oliver's recipe but I had no mint so I used dill instead. 

Used a potato peeler to slice the courgettes. Fresh peas are so magical. We are eating it with wild grain mushroom risotto, and I really wish I had a nice slice of fresh white fish to go with it. Next time. :)
