I simply can’t get enough of fresh salads with farm fresh ingredients. This cucumber salad made with roasted pine nuts and fresh cherry tomatoes is a personal favorite!

Delicious, fresh picked tomatoes and the cool vibes of cucumber are a delight. My tomato and cucumber salad captures them together in a dish that embodies the essence of summer. Its cool and crisp, with added spice and a bit of crunch. The mixture creates a refreshing salad that compliments both meat and fish.
