There’s nothing like a simple salad in the summer time.  In the winter, I crave rich and hearty soups and stews, but in the summer, I lean into the season and love serving light salads that highlight the beautiful bounty of the garden.  Cucumbers are a staple in our summer garden.  So fresh and delightful as an added crunch to any salad.
