Sweet Garden Salad Recipe

I usually make a Savory or a Sweet Garden salad as an accompaniment to our dinner. Salads are certainly more easy to throw together when you have a garden in your backyard, but most healthy eaters will have enough yummy things in the pantry to throw something similar together on short notice. 

4-5 c. Fresh Greens, chopped small (I used Chard & Broccoli Greens, but feel free to try spinach, beet greens, or kale)
1 c. Fresh Garden Herbs, left in whole leaves (whatever you prefer or have available, I use Basil)
2-3 TB Sprouts
1/2 -1 c, Fresh Fruit (I used peaches because that is what we have fresh right now, but you could use anything pears, apples, grapes, strawberries, etc.)
1/2 c, Pumpkin Seeds & Raisins, combined and soaked in warm water for 30 minutes (a delicious & nutritious addition to any salad, cookie, or granola! You could also substitute cranberries & sunflower seeds)
Your favorite dressing, use a balsamic vinaigrette or oil-based dressing instead of a sweet dressing since you already have a lot of sweetness w/ the fruit

Rinse all ingredients and toss together in a bowl with your favorite dressing. I used Maple Grove Farms of Vermont Fat-Free Wasabi Dijon and it was perfect!!
