8 ounces cherry tomatoes, sliced
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped raw walnuts
2 TBSP fresh basil, plus leaves for garnish
2 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Sea salt
1 zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise, slices cut into 1/4 inch pieces
In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, walnuts, basil, and oil. Season with salt. Let stand 20 minutes. Toss with the zucchini and garnish with basil.
We ate this dish last night and were overwhelmed by the simplistic flavors. We added extra vegetables that were available from the garden, like beets (cooked), and cucumber. It took all of 5 minutes to prepare, and was loved by all!
The daisy follows soft the sun
The daisy follows soft the sun,
And when his golden walk is done,
Sits shyly at his feet.
He, waking, finds the flower near.
"Wherefore, marauder, art thou here?"
"Because, sir, love is sweet!"
We are the flower, Thou the sun!
Forgive us, if as days decline,
We nearer steal to Thee, -
Enamoured of parting west,
The peace, the flight, the amethyst,
Night's possibility!
- Emily Dickinson
Don't let the prospect of scraped knees or bug bites keep you inside. They're symbols of a summer well lived.
- Terri Trespicio
