Easily Grow Fresh Herbs on Your Counter All Year Long
We got this great6-Pod Aerogarden which is fantastic for growing herbs in the kitchen – especially growing fresh basil for this salad. We actually got it when we lived in a smaller apartment, but even now that we own an acreage we still use it year-round! I lovegrowing herbs on my countertop like fresh basil, dill, mint, sage, thyme, parsley, and lemon balm. It uses LED lights and water, so no messy soil needed – you can have fresh herbs at your fingertips any time. I love picking a few springs of parsley to chop on pastas, adding basil leaves to soups, and tossing some dill in with my pasta salads.This Aerogarden is a great gift for anyone who would like fresh herbs… no big kitchen or green thumb required!
I love adding fresh herbs to almost every meal I make. It’s great for vegan breakfast salad recipes like this one, soups, dinners, or to top avocado toast.
