Simple Summer Salmon with three Scrumptous Sides

Our garden is bursting right now with goodness. It’s days like this that my February self longs for… yet even in the midst of this bounty – I sometimes get sick of the way I prepare beets, cucumbers, squash, kale, chard… etc. How to mix it up and do something different?

There’s nothing really too amazing about this meal – except that for me – it was just that… different. It began with a tired momma  scratching her head, but it ended with such a tasty combination that I thought I would share. Sometimes it’s great to get some fresh inspiration.

Hope this summer menu does that for you!
