Like digging up a couple of garden onions in the morning and letting them sweeten in the sun all day. This is a wonderful salad that my boyfriend turned me on to. It's actually supposed to be cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes, but the grocery store was out of cucumbers (!?) So I used green bell peppers, which are one of my favorites. I made the blue cheese from scratch and it was really good. Dressings from scratch are always better, way cheaper, and easy. This one was blue cheese, minced garlic, buttermilk, sour cream, and mayo. Can't go wrong with that. I also got my first ripe Brandywine tomato off the vine today, and paired with a few Tigerellas and a bounty of cherry tomatoes, this was a sweet treat from the summer garden. Throw in some sourdough garlic bread and this is a great, light, simple meal.

Wow! Looks stellar! I've done a blue cheese dressing many times on fresh spring mix, with sweet onion, spicy caramelized pecans and fresh pears. Just about anything out of the garden with cream and some kind of acid (lemon juice, vinegar, whatever) is awesome! I'll have to try leaving the green onions in the sun!
