Some favorite salad greens are the easiest plants to grow and don’t need a lot of space. Starting anytime from April onward, you can start seedlings in a sunny windowsill and then transfer them or plant seeds directly in the ground. Romaine, butterhead, arugula, mache, mizuna, mustard greens, spinach, and flat-leaf parsley would make a nice selection.
We often make our salads dressed only with oil, vinegar and lemon, but everyone has different ideas for what makes a good salad dressing (more vinegar, more oil, etc). Experiment with your greens. For a family meal, fill a large bowl with fresh salad greens and bring bottles of different vinegar (red wine, balsamic, fig vinegar, etc.), lemon cut into quarters, olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper to the table. Let everyone dress their own salad.
