green (and red)


 I made this small salad for lunch from things in the garden, and it looked so pretty. It's fresh shelled peas, radish, dill, thyme, and red and green amaranth leaves. I had never had amaranth in my life before, or even heard of it, but I read an article extolling the virtues of growing red leafy vegetables, including amaranth, so I tried it. It's good! Slightly bitter and very fresh. On the side is a grilled sausage and a pool of grainy mustard. Perfection.
