Pretty! All our garden died in the hard freeze and snow we've had the past two days and nights. Just a week ago I was enjoying fresh garden food. This week it will be in the high 60s for a few days then winter.

Enjoy!

No snows or hard freezes here in SoCal.........sometimes I miss them.

Salad dressing--I like Italian.

Sometimes, when I've cooked beets, I slice them into the salad too. They are wonderful!

Bon Appetit!

You're funny!

By the time I sat down to dinner, I was quite hungry and that salad didn't stand a chance!

I'm glad you think it's pretty--I did too, and that's why I took the photo.

I'm under strict doctor's orders to go easy on the salt! This salad needs none.

I do grind some fresh pepper on it before eating. That makes it perfect, for me!

It makes the vegetables glisten and appear garden fresh. Great composition.

I wonder though how that would look on an opaque plate, and indeed what color would work best. Not to be critical, it's a wonderful image as it is.

I didn't use the flash, actually. Room light with my iPhone.

The salad's in a glass bowl, which is what we always use.

I appreciate your critique!
