Salads on the homestead are an ever changing business. When you shop at the grocery store salads can always be the same. However, on the homestead a salad must change and evolve with the seasons. It is rare,especially in the southern states, to have lettuce and tomatoes at the same time. So a salad must change as our ingredients for them change. So this thread is for our homestead changling salad recipes.SUMMER SALAD
