A glorious bite of NC

I adore going to the Farmer's Market. I swear the produce just tastes better. It's like taking a big tasty bite of North Carolina and coming up with a juicy smile. This weekend The Hubby and I bought bags full of asparagus, juicy tomatoes, English cucumbers, red onions, baby squash, and peaked-head cabbage. I can't wait to tell you all of the plans I have for these gems.

First and foremost, something that just screams "SUMMERTIME!" is a cucumber/tomato salad. The English cucumber is less bitter, with fewer seeds than regular cucumbers. Pair that with farm-fresh tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, a healthy sprinkle of red wine vinegar and olive oil, finished with S&P to taste and you've something beautiful.

Tonight, we're grilling out wild game with some of these farm-fresh ingredients. I'll be sure to take a picture and fill you in on the details.
