Here in Hamilton, we have a Farmer's Market every Saturday from 9am-1pm. There are several local farmers who have large stands selling all the wonderful things summer brings. Granted, fresh produce is a good bit more expensive than what you buy at the supermarket, but tomatoes, cucumbers and green onions right out of the garden are so delicious, they are totally worth the extra money.
This is what I grabbed last Saturday. I made a wonderful Hamburger Soup (see my previous post for the recipe) with the Leek, Stir-fry with the peppers and onions, and tomato cucumber salad with those.
For a quick and easy salad, in the bottom of a bowl, I mix mayonnaise with a little white vinegar until smooth. I slice the cucumbers and cut the tomatoes into chunks, add them to the dressing and salt to taste. If you like onion, you can add very thinly sliced onion to the mix. Yummy!
At our house we have to wait for soup season...almost there!
Wow! They look almost fake! That cuke and 'matoe salad is sooo yummy and refreshing!
