Fresh leaves and herb salad

For one person:

1. Pick nice looking leaves from mixed leafs salad growing in pot on you balcony. Wash them and dry them, preferably old stylie by putting them in a teatowel and spinning it over your head.
2. Add some fresh croutons to bowl. Croutons: with your hands tear a bun to tiny pieces, place in oven dish with some salt and pepper and sprinkle lots of nice olive oil over. Place in medium hot oven until golden and fragrant. Let cool.
3. Rummage through fridge. Find nice piece of stinky brie, cut in chunks and put in salad.
4. Toss salad with croutons and brie, pour over some nice dressing. No clue? How about 1tbs red wine vinegar versus 2 tbs olive oil.
5. Step over to window sill and pick some chives, dill, koriander, parsley and basel. Shred and sprinkle over salad.

Eat with taste and great enjoyment!

Today I had my first home grown salad and it was simple and GOOD! Those leaves have so much more taste than the ones coming from a bag in the supermarket! The cress was almost spicy, and really nice. When the leaves are nice, a salad doesn't need a lot of stuff put in to make it interesting. In this salad the leaves were more than interesting enough :)

And it is growing in a small pot on my balcony fence! I can recommend it to anyone!
