Yellow tomato and avocado salad. |
From the bottom: lemon cucumber, avocado, yellow tomato and tiny San Marzano tomatoes. |
The lemon cucumber has tons of seeds.
I scooped out the seeds and was left with just the white part of the cucumber.
A quick chop and I assembled the salad. I added a bit of shredded chicken for protein, some black olives and a drizzle of homemade lemon vinaigrette.
The San Marzano tomatoes are so sweet and delicious I am quite sad that the plant is only producing one tomato a week.
Next year I will definitely plant at least three of them so that I have enough to can some tomato sauce.
The lemon cucumbers? Not my favorite - they taste like you dipped a regular cucumber in lemon juice (hence the name) but they have too many seeds for my taste.
I counted ten ears of corn on my small cluster of corn stalks!! I just hope it stays hot enough for the rest of September for them to ripen.
San Marzanos are the best!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen -or even heard of- lemon cucumbers before! They sound so interesting, and I actually love lemon juice on tons of food, so I think I'd like it.
