And a Pansy or Two




Here we go again --- another simple table setting.
Flowers on the menu
and an uncomplicated family supper.





Romaine, mixed garden greens, tomatoes, 
sweet onions, and sugar peas were the 
ingredients for a fresh salad garnished with 
pansy, daisy, and marigold blossoms.




The flowers sure made the salad colorful 
and inviting! And, they are all edible.




The salad dressing was a quick 
homemade vinaigrette made from 
olive oil,  lemon juice, Bragg's Liquid 
Aminos (or soy sauce), salt,  stevia
and Italian Seasoning. Blend together  
until emulsified and then pour 
into a pretty little pitcher.

  5. Dinner sounds yummy! Though I'm still not sure about eating flowers. :) I remember there was some sort of weed outside my Mammaw's house in Mississippi that we used to go outside to pick and eat when we were there. I wonder what it was -- can't even remember the taste of it now. Have a fabulous Friday! Tammy
