Micro Herb Garden Gourmet Greens
This micro herb garden gourmet green salad is a simple and refreshing dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of greens and can be easily customized to your liking.
I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover microgreens. I had been growing them in my kitchen windowsill, and they were starting to get a little leggy. I didn't want to waste them, so I decided to try adding them to a salad. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the combination of flavors and textures. The microgreens added a slight bitterness that balanced out the sweetness of the arugula and spinach. The red onion added a bit of crunch, and the feta cheese added a touch of saltiness. The olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper brought everything together and made the salad taste even more delicious. I've been making this salad ever since, and it's become one of my favorite go-to recipes. It's a great way to use up leftover microgreens, and it's also a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of greens.
