Growing Fresh Herbs for Your Salad

Fresh herbs can take any dish to the next level, and this year, I decided to grow my own! Since fresh herbs aren't always available year-round in Japan, I started growing basil, thyme, parsley, cilantro, rosemary, arugula, radish, lemon and yellow zucchini from seed. They've all sprouted and are thriving indoors until the weather warms up enough to move them outside. I'm especially excited about my cilantro, which I'll be using in future recipes - stay tuned for more! If you're not a fan of cilantro, don't worry, you can still enjoy this Cucumber Tomato Salad with fresh dill. The dill adds a bright and refreshing touch to every bite. Whether you grow your own or buy fresh from the market, adding herbs is a great way to elevate your low-carb, PCOS-friendly salads!
