Long gone are the days of mom standing there telling us to eat our vegetables while we begrudgingly choked them down. Now we tend to go the green smoothie route a lot but I love a great salad. There are so many lovely greens coming in from the garden or in the organic section at the market we should take advantage of them and use a few oils to add extra flavor!
