In the height of the summer when vegetables are fresh (as in, were alive on the plant that day or the day before), you don't really have to do fancy things to make them taste better, because they just taste good the way they are. You don't have to cover up boring tastes or anything. This is a great example of how to make a delicious, unadorned salad out of summer produce at its freshest. I'm sure you could do something similar with just about any vegetable from the market this time of year.
Summer Farmers Market Salad
- baby arugula
- sliced heirloom tomatoes
- sliced lemon cucumber
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper
Layer the tomato slices and cucumber on top of a bed of arugula (peel the cucumber with a vegetable peeler, if necessary). Drizzle with a little olive oil, and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
