It has actually been hot here, even near the beach in San Diego. Maybe it’s the humidity, which I do remember from 26 years living in New York. Here is a great salad to serve with burgers, chicken or grilled fish. My daughter Courtney loves this salad and she made it today without any assistance from me except to tell me the basil from our garden had bugs on it!! Thanks dear daughter. Omit the basil please, just for today!
Here is a picture – excuse the dark exposure, my flash broke on my camera and I need to buy a new one.
