Most people that know me, know that I DO NOT have a green thumb at.all!! I have always had good intentions with plants and flowers...but within in a few days they always seem to be extremely...dead! ha! This summer I decided that I would try and change that!! Soooo my Mom helped me plant some lettuce! And it was my job to try to keep it alive for the whole summer! And I am here to report that I DID IT!! We had delicious homegrown lettuce the entire summer. It was so nice to just hop onto my deck and pick fresh lettuce for dinner each night. And because we all of a sudden had an abundance of lettuce (that stuff grows FAST) I found myself trying to 'recreate' a boring old salad each night. Now salads are pretty easy...and you don't really need a 'recipe'! However I thought I would share some of the salad creations we came up with this summer, just in case someone is looking for some SALAD INSPIRATION!
My beautiful lettuce!! Ha! Look how ALIVE it is!! Go me!!
