I love vegetable salads and we definitely eat a lot of them.

Tonight I made a salad with chick peas, corn, red onion, cucumber, tomato, and green and purple basil from the garden. Can you say yum!
1 can of drained garbanzo beans
1 chopped up red onion
I put these two ingredients in a bowl first to soak up about 1/4 cup of seasoned rice vinegar.
Then I added
1 quartered and chopped cucumber
1 pint of grape tomatoes cut in half
the raw kernels of one corn on the cob
lots of basil chopped
3 tablespoons of olive oil
toss everything together a little salt and pepper to taste and oila!

A little arrangements of flowering basil stalks

Chopped basil
daniel and I took pictures of each other eating dinner and drinking our wine.

Here is a ridiculous one for
