109 today, with thunder on the horizon but no rain. Just the hot heavy breath of Summer, who always leads with his tongue. Okay, that's an obscure private joke you may not understand, but here's something cool, good and simple to ease your First Day of Summer.
Featuring all the bumper crops we know and love with a few cheats like avocado, lime, and pumpkin seeds to tart it up, it's a seasonal, vegan, raw, and nutritious full-meal salad.
Zucchini, Sweet Corn and Tomato Salad
It's a salad, so measurements are absolutely unwarranted. Chop, slice and squeeze until it looks right to you.
fresh sweet corn, cut from the cob*
cucumbers, diced
red ripe tomatoes, wedges
zucchini, sliced into ribbons or other noodle shapes
avocado, diced
as much cilantro as you want
some baby spinach or other tender greens
fresh squeezed lime juice to taste
a little salt
sprinkle of pumpkins seeds
drizzle of olive oil if you're feeling it
I hope you have some nice hoppy beer or a grassy little Chardonnay, really cold, to go with.
