Just wanted to put up a quick post about this past weekend. I cooked quite a lot for this little pool party we had and would love to share the recipe for mini cheeseburger puff pastries, salted caramel ice cream, chocolate ice cream or the might tasty slow cooker pulled pork that Max threw together. However, in the interest of time I am going to just mention the simple salad I made.
The veggies from the farm box have been outstanding all summer. I love yellow squash, zucchini, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers...oh and the BASIL is to die for and comes to me in bunches 8 times larger than those that you buy at the store. So, I took advantage of everything I got on Friday and made the following easy as can be recipe. I've made this before but I feel like each time I bring it to a party people just love it and ask what went in to it. Well...here you go:
3-4 large cucumbers, large dice
4-5 medium/large tomatoes, large dice
3 fist fulls of fresh basil, sliced up (ok a chiffonade if I MUST say it)
2 balls (2-3 oz each prob) of fresh mozzarella cheese, large dice
1 medium purple onion, sliced very thin
olive oil (just a couple of turns around the bowl, maybe 2 TBS)
balsamic vinegar (same as above)
salt
pepper
Mix it up, let it chill out for a half an hour and serve. Deeeelicious. It's great with diced avocado added in as well.
Enjoy!
