The Yummiest No Recipe Summer Salad Recipe
We’re in the middle of a heatwave here in the Pacific Northwest. It’s too darn hot to do much, let alone cook up a fancy family meal.
In comes my favorite fallbacks: a quesadilla made on my beloved Grillda Garten (just cheese and a tortilla is fine! I used leftover fajita meat and veggies) that miraculously doesn’t heat up the house much if used as a panini maker and this favorite salad. Tomatoes are really at their peak now, so dice up some homegrown ones if ya got ‘em.
