This micro herb garden salad is a refreshing and flavorful way to get your daily dose of greens. Made with a mix of microgreens, radishes, cucumbers, and red onion, this salad is tossed in a simple vinaigrette and served immediately. The microgreens add a delicate flavor and a bit of crunch, while the radishes, cucumbers, and red onion provide a variety of textures and flavors. This salad is a great way to use up any leftover microgreens you have on hand, and it's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
This recipe was inspired by a trip to a local farmers market. I was browsing the stalls when I came across a stand selling a variety of microgreens. I had never seen microgreens before, but I was intrigued by their delicate flavor and vibrant colors. I bought a few different varieties and decided to experiment with them in a salad. The result was this micro herb garden salad. It's a simple salad, but it's packed with flavor and nutrients. I've been making it ever since.
