This morning after a very delicious espresso I went out to my neighbors garden to gather up, basically what's left...They're on vacay for the next few weeks so it's up to us neighbors to harvest the last of their summer crop so it doesn't go to waste.
I picked: the cherry tomatoes (the handful that were ripe), Corn on the Cob, Petit Pan Squash, Italian Parsley, Mint & Basil.
I cut the corn off the cob. Sliced the basil/mint with a chiffonade cut, sliced the cute little tomatoes in half, the squash in small chunks, picked the Italian Parsley off the stems... then mixed everything up! It was amazing. Hints of mint, and basil and tangy tomatoes... awesome.
Made a basic vinaigrette. Fresh lemon juice and Extra Virgin Olive Oil (from FIGONE'S Olive Oil Company - just a block from home). I usually just eye the lemon juice and olive oil... but a good rule of thumb is a 3:1 ratio. Oil to citrus.
Salt/Pepper
Perfect Saturday afternoon salad. What's left in your garden?
