Cooking is fun. Eating is funner. I cook, photograph and write these recipes. Everything I post on this blog I make from scratch using fresh wholesome ingredients.. I've been cooking since I was a little kid. My recipes are based on trial and error, along with studying cookbooks, family recipes, blogs and cooking shows. Some of the veggies and herbs I use are grown in my garden. Yay sustainability! I'm working on making my yard into an edible landscape. It's really fun to go out in the garden and pick your veggies for dinner!

Sweet Beet, Mango and Arugula Salad with Garlicky Meyer Lemon Dressing

This is a very simple recipe that lets the flavors of the ingredients shine through. The arugula and nasturtiums in this photo are from our edible back yard. The peppery arugula and nasturtiums compliment the sweet and tangy veggies and fruits.  This salad is delicious and very healthy!

Wash and cook beets. I used golden and red beets and cooked them in a pot of simmering water for about 45 minutes. You could also roast them in the oven. Once they’re cooked, let them cool, peel and chop into small squares or any way you like. Chop fresh mango. 

Wash and spin salad greens. Make a dressing with the juice of 1 meyer lemon, 1 tsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp honey, 1 smashed open garlic clove (if you let it sit in the dressing, it’ll flavor it just enough), salt and pepper,  pinch of dried basil. 

Place the chopped beets and mango on the bed of arugula, dress with the garlicky lemon dressing, garnish with any edible flowers you have. Yummy!
