Winter Solstice Salad

 I garden in the southern hemisphere and it is winter right now, although we’ve had high temperatures.

Salads in winter are not “everyone’s cup of tea” but last night I prepared and ate a gorgeous Solstice Salad made entirely from my tiny vegetable patch in a community garden.
