I was working hard in the land of container gardening today.\u00a0 It was the perfect weather to be working outdoors… and it does make you hungry!\u00a0 Tonight dinner needed to be quick and easy, but healthy and satisfying, my energy level was not high.\u00a0 I did not have time to shop, so I rummaged through my fridge.\u00a0 I found a container of\u00a0mini heirloom tomatoes and a block of fresh feta.\u00a0 So I sliced the tomatoes in half, used about a third of the block of cheese\u00a0cutting it into cubes, adding 2 cups of fresh arugula from the market.\u00a0 I love the farmer’s market.\u00a0 I know I needed something more so I sliced a red onion\u00a0for the flavor and added chopped green garlic also from the market.\u00a0 I tossed the salad with red wine vinegar and olive oil, adding a dash of salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n

This makes a great side salad… but I didn’t stop as I found one ear of corn so of course I cooked and sliced off the kernels to add to my salad.\u00a0 I also had an avocado that needed to be used so that was chopped up and added to the mix. \u00a0I squeezed a tablespoon of lime juice on the salad and served with grilled chicken breast, fresh fruit and pilaf.\u00a0 I love to improvise from my kitchen.\u00a0 There were so many things I could have added or just kept this very simple with the feta, tomatoes and arugula.\u00a0 This is the reason I go to the farmer’s market every Saturday.\u00a0 My fridge will usually have something from the market that helps bring all my meals together.<\/p>\n
