I've got two which are indispensable: cucumber salad and caprese. I'll have to get back to you on the former as it's one Jeff is constantly tweaking, so I'll need to get his current specs from him.
Caprese, however, goes together really fast, doesn't need a recipe, is very filling and fresh. Everyone makes it differently, but here's our plan.
Need: Fresh basil, tomato and fresh mozz (very important to have fresh mozz). Simply slice tomato and mozz and layer with basil in a ring on a plate. We salt and pepper very lightly, add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of balsamic. To die for.
oh thanks. yum! please do look up the cucumber salad!
Cucumber Salad
1/2 c distilled white or cider vinegar (we like cider)
3 T sugar (we use Splenda)
1T veggie oil
1/2 t salt (or to taste)
1/4 t black pepper (or to taste)
1 "hothouse" cucumber or 2 med. Kirby cukes (whatever that means. We have only used cukes from our garden and have used as many as 4 cukes with the same amount of liquid).
1 sliced yellow onion (completely optional)
1. Make salad dressing: whisk vinegar, sugar, oil, salt, pepper with 1/2 c water until sugar dissolves.
2. rinse but do not peel the cukes, then thinly slice (sometimes Jeff makes them thicker slices and quarters them). Put slices in a shallow serve bowl and pour over the slices.
3. Eat. It's best if eaten in two days, but not necessary. Refrigerate.
Thanks! It sounds tasty.
