Baskets for August 30 and September 2
Hi Everyone,
By now those of you who picked up yesterday are emptying your baskets and maybe had your first meal of the week with your fresh vegetables. Friday is yet to come......Contents this week are: tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, carrots, kale, swiss chard, lettuce, herbs (basil, chives, rosemary, thyme), summer squash and eggs.....
With the abundance of cucumbers try this new recipe!
Japanese Cucumber Salad
2 medium cucumbers, 1/4 c rice vinegar, 1 t sugar, 1/4 t salt, 2 T toasted sesame seeds.
Peel cucumbers and leave alternating strips of green. slice into 1/2 lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. cut into very thin slices. put in a double folder paper towel and gently squeeze out as much moisture as possible. combine vinegar, sugar and salt in medium bowl. add cucumber and sesame seeds. toss well and serve immediately. Serves 4
Seemed like a nice change from the standard tomatoe/ cucumber salad.....although that is good too. Happy eating!
