Welcome Summer Veggies
by Linda Dansbury

Most of what I enjoyed this past week were repeats with slight variations based on what was in my fridge - green bean salad, cucumber salad, veggie packed lettuce salads, served alongside a simply grilled steak, marinated and grilled chicken, or a nice piece of fish. Here are a few new things:

Cucumbers, garlic, onion, dill - made Narrow Bridge Refrigerator Pickles from this site - very easy and yummy.

Green beans, scallions, cilantro - prepared a green bean salad Asian style (I normally lean more toward Italian style for green bean salads).

Tomatoes, zucchini, onion - found a new delicious dish: Italian Zucchini Casserole. It took a little while to prep, but then was great! We added a layer of sweet Italian sausage that we precooked so that it was a complete meal. It was delicious reheated as leftovers a couple of days later and we plan to make it ahead of time and serve to friends that are coming next weekend.
