    Locavore Garden Salad instead of PBJ for lunch

    OK, what is a locavore garden salad? Its when you walk out to your garden and cut some salad greens. This all started with lunch.

    We were about to have lunch, and it was going to be PBJs, since it was simple and all the ingredients were there. But I have been on this kinda sorta gluten free before 6 pm thing - we talk about gluten free on GF Radio here - so I grabbed my scissors and went out to the garden.

    There was kale, and young salad greens that had sprouted 2 weeks ago, plus arugula, which grows like a weed anyway. I cut the greens to that they would grow again - this is going to be our hoop house raised bed this winter - and was back in the kitchen in 5 minutes.

    Put water on to make some poached eggs - kinda like the neato Salad Lyonaise video we did - and washed the salad quickly. It almost didn't need washing it was so young, but... I made a quick vinegarette salad dressing in the mixing bowl. You can use just the egg yolk as a dressing, like in the Salad Lyonnaise recipe, but I wanted the balsamic in there.

    And its good I did make the dressing, because I overcooked the eggs, they were no longer soft poached, but they were still good. Not bad for a quick switch from PBJ.
