Aunt Pauline’s Garden always provided most of our summer meals when I went to visit. “Go get some tomatoes and cucumbers from the garden, and grab a pinch of dill too.” And remember to shut the gate so the dogs don’t get in the garden!
This salad is definitely best as a “fresh-out-of-the-garden” salad when cucumbers and tomatoes are in season. Add some raw feta cheese or blue cheese, 4 ounces of grilled chicken and serve over a bed of baby spinach or shredded green cabbage or any fresh greens you love! This picture uses sprouts! Love those summer time veggies!
