Very simple and delicious salad that went with my dinner on Sunday night!
2 fresh Tomotoes cubed.
1 Cup Chickpeas (I rehydrate dried chickpeas and cook them until tender, but canned is fine)
1 Avocado cubed
2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 Tbsp brown sugar
10 mint leaves (I used Peppermint this time) chopped up ( does not have to be a fine chop)
2 Leaves from the Horseradish plant chopped up (does not have to be a fine chop)
It was a very fresh tasting salad that popped with the mint and had a great hint of bitter with the Horseradish and Balsamic!
Try it and enjoy, let me know if you need some Mint, Horseradish, and soon some Tomatoes from the garden for this recipe!!!
Did some weeding today and really enjoyed pinning up my tomatoes and pickle plants! Can't wait for the results which are about 2 weeks away from the first pickings!
Loving the Garden! Michael.

Herb list for 2011
Call me Herb, no call me Michael, but love my Herbs!
I have expanded my selection and anyone who wants some clipping for a recipe or to put in water for their home feel free to ask!
My gardening season would not be a happy one for me without my Basil garden...I have already told you about the Pesto Perpetuo plants that are absolutely flourishing outside!
In the Basil garden this year , 8 varieties: Pesto Perpetuo, Greek Bush Basil , Thai Siam Basil, Magic Mountain Basil, Persian Basil, Purple Basil, Purple Bush Basil, Sweet Basil.
In my new Herb Pot - 10 herbs: Vietnamese Coriander, French Tarragon, Rosemary, Greek Bush Basil, Lavender, Chives, Dill, Thai Siam Basil, Chamomile, Lemon Thyme!
Others around the Garden: Coriander, Bay Laurel, Curry, Green Fennel, Bronze Fennel, Lemon Verbana, Chevril, Stevia, English Lavender, Lemon Baum (Melissa), Lemon Thyme, Parsley, Horseradish is back!
Next blog, look forward to my list of 5 tomato varieties and 8 types of hot peppers!
I will also try to list any recipies in which I use these delicious plants!
Until then, I am a happy gardener!
