mmmm mmmm MMMMM!!! Sounds darn tasty! & not a lot has changed over the years, the same salt, vinegar & oil dressing, mixed greens...I've never thought about using Rosemary in a salad...sounds good....I think we're gonna grow pursalne again next year, VERY easy to grow & quite succulent...
I'm not sure about mint, fennel, garlic and THREE kinds of onion all in the same salad...THIS salad sounds QUITE medicinal...
"myng hem well" hehe! I like that... :)
