All those fresh summer vegetables in one salad.
https://www.chat-quiberon.com/2024/01/18/sjx3grf Don’t you just love the taste of arugula? The peppery taste is delicious mixed with tomatoes and I love it on sandwiches in place of lettuce or sautéed a little bit and put into an omelette.
Buy Crescent Diazepam This salad was another idea I had one night when faced with a refrigerator full of vegetables and a brand new package of arugula and after looking on the internet I found others had beaten me to the punch or should I say, recipe. I used Bobby Flay’s Vinaigrette recipe but my own farm truck list of ingredients for the salad.
There’s nothing better than summer tomatoes and over the 4th of July, my son Paul brought a ton (not actually a ton) of tomatoes to me; so many he made 6 pints of roasted salsa that we can enjoy through the summer. I’m thinking when my husband is in the pool and wants a snack I can go pop open a jar of salsa and serve it to him pool side with some chips (not homemade of course).

So, if you are visiting a farmer’s market or even your grocery and see some really good tomatoes and these other ingredients, give this salad a try, I know you will like it. You could add some grilled chicken to the salad and have dinner in one dish.

At the time I was still working at Williams Sonoma and he cooked dinner. His cooking skills have come a long way since then; all I remember is that was one delicious meal.

Garden ripe tomatoes and avocado. The green tomatoes got fried for my Green Tomato Stack recipe.

I needed the avocado to ripen over night so I put it in a paper bag with some ripe bananas. The gas the bananas put off help to ripen avocados.

https://manabernardes.com/2024/qbf23moz64v I have a spice toaster to toast my cumin seeds in. If you don’t have put put the seeds in a small dry skillet for 1-2 minutes.
Mix the tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, peppers and cilantro together.
Add in as much arugula as you want. I had some baby spinach also that I added. You can either mix it in or serve the tomato mixture on top of the greens.
Peel and pit the avocado then run under cold water for a second or two. Add to the salad.
When ready to serve, drizzle on some of the salad dressing and toss real good to coat everything. Serve immediately.
