It’s almost summer here so the grocer has been bringing in some really amazing summer vegetables and fruits. I thought we’d have to wait a while more for peaches and watermelons but they are already in.

Celery and leeks taste best in these months. Sweet, juicy and bursting with freshness. I love making celery salad and leek patties in these months. Absolutely the best. I really think the best way to get everyone to eat salad is to keep it simple and fresh. A simple salad dressing can make a huge difference.
