This beautiful oregano plant grows on my balcony. Because it grows so fast and full I have to trim it often.  I use the fresh oregano leaves in everything from salads to omelets to tomato based sauces and soups.  My favorite thing:  finely chop the leaves and incorporate into an "oregano vinaigrette" of which I toss over fresh organic spinach or romaine, cucumbers, tomatoes and a little red onion.  Ahh,  the perfect greek style salad, served on a chilled plate!
