I need that little bit of protein in my salad, but not much. Our HOA frowns on so much except what they shoud be frowning on. (We have a house literally falling down, but they spend time on decorative mailboxes.) No garden for us though as we are in the woods. I love that farmers market finder. I am going to contact them to ensure our new farmers market gets added. It's a bit controversial as it's truly local--only in our county and because of that and the time of year, there's not a lot being offered right now. But, still it's a very neat thing. I'll be speaking there at the end of the month for their grand opening/community appreciation day. We'll be adding gluten-free goodies to the wares that the 4-H group is selling and will have gf treats and info packets at our table. Farmers markets rock in so many ways! Thanks so much for the links, Diane, and the recipe! :-) Shirley What a lovely salad! I need that little bit of protein in my salad, but not much.
