Mixed microgreens: a whole garden in miniature on one plate and in one bite. They're a little too intense for Kenneth and a little too expensive for my budget. But, I needed a treat a couple of nights ago when I was dining at home alone. So the little plastic box of microgreens went into the grocery basket and home with me.
Every time I ate them I took a picture. They're so exuberant.
They were best in a lunch salad, topped with heirloom tomatoes, left-over salt and pepper shrimp, and a simple vinaigrette.
Kenneth may not like microgreens, but he looooves salt and pepper shrimp. He calls it (to my giddy delight) "America's new favorite."

"One Spoonful more of Greens, my Dear,/ Eat freely, Love, and never fear..."

I propose a meal featuring both microgreens and that wee little lemon that I always think about and love so much!
I haven't had access to wee lemons in a long time. Not since I took the pic you mention. If they every reappear at the store, rest assured that an orgy of images will flood my e-world.
