Usually ones it's impossible for me to get to.

Got 2 bags of salad greens, some cilantro, and dill.
Since Monday night, these have all been getting chopped up together and served with cucumber & bell pepper...
OMG, garden-fresh greens are so fabulous! I grew up with a garden... "Salad" meant leaf-lettuce endive, and escarole that had been picked just before being served. (Probably with parsley, scallions, dill, and chives chopped in.) This reminded me of that.
First night, I checked our salad dressing, said, "Nope, can't eat that", so drizzled a little olive oil. Last night, drizzled a little ACV.
Usually, the greens in the salad are the stuff holding up the avocado, egg, cheese, meat, or whatever else I've added.
This? This is just pure, garden-fresh heaven.

That sounds so good and how wonderful that you grew up with a garden when you were a child.
I love dill so much, especially with chopped up chicken, mayo and a little bit of celery seed in there too.
