This is a quick post for Alicia (LiLi to my girls) who told me, quite eloquently, that she has a buttload (her word, not mine) of produce from her CSA box she needs to use. She’s making salsa with most of it but I thought I’d give her something to do with all those cucumbers.
I don’t have a decent picture of this very pretty salad so I thought I’d share a picture of Jake. I stole this from Alicia’s FB page. He belongs to her and Sean and is my new great-nephew puppy. Isn’t he gorgeous? We love him!
