We have always been big fans of salads. They are simple to create and most ingredients are readily available. We always try to buy in-season produce. One Green Planet has a great article on why you should endeavor to buy in-season produce.
As part of our Nutrition Coaching we recommend a range of fresh, locally picked for consumption foods.
This delicious tomato cucumber salad is light and refreshing – perfect for a casual dinner or feeding a crowd at a party. We used red cherry tomatoes, but you can substitute for any locally grown fresh tomatoes. As always try to use organic where possible.
