My favorite time of the year to cook is in the autumn, when
roasts and stews and all manner of baked goods really shine. But my favorite
time of the year to EAT is right now. I could live happily on nothing but fresh home grown tomatoes, melons,
peaches, raspberries, cucumbers, sweet peas and corn. If only they were in season the whole
year!
Cucumber Tomato Salad
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon poppy seeds
1/2 tablespoon Dijon
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
2 cucumbers, peeled and sliced
2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Combine lemon juice, sugar, olive oil, poppy seeds, mustard,
garlic, salt, and onion powder in a large bowl. Whisk well until dressing is
completely combined. Add cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion to bowl. Toss to
combine. Chill before serving.
