Cool salad for a hot summer day.
Life in a small town has really been nice. We moved to Round Top five years ago and I know some wonder what is there to do in a town of 87. Well there is mahjong twice a week; once at local library in the Rummel Haus (built in 1872), once at Busted Oak Cellars and sometimes a third time at our son and daughter-in-laws brewery (Round Top Brewing). There’s coffee shop with the ladies on Thursday mornings, RT Lunch Bunch, Sister Squad (out to lunch), and Herb Society of America. Throwing tea parties (Round Top Tea Time) is also something I like to host. We have the Fall and Spring Antique shows and a Winter and Summer one as well. Last year was our first Round Top Film Festival. Can’t forget the wine walk, art walks, chili cook-off and a lot of fundraisers.
There’s still time to jump in the pool to cool off before deciding what to do for dinner. I don’t really jump in but it’s a nice place to do some “cool” exercises.
When the temperatures start to get above 90° here in Texas I start looking for recipes that are easy and this salad is not only easy but beautiful. Papa G is always eager to throw something on the grill and I usually come up with the “extras”.
