Healthy summer potluck dish check it out

in #food6 years ago

Hello friends ,

Whether you’re headed to a picnic, a pool party, or a barbeque, one thing is for sure – potluck season is in full swing! And while everyone loves a tray of bars or the midwest classic “snicker salad”, potlucks are a great place to try new, healthier recipes. Below are five options to shake up your summer potluck soirée!

Cucumber And Heirloom Tomato Salad
One of the greatest things about summer weather is the abundance of fresh, super flavorful, and healthy produce. The tomatoes are tender and tasty. The berries are affordable and super sweet. Folks are pretty much giving away zucchini! You almost have to try to not eat healthfully in the summertime—it’s just all so readily available!

Fresh produce begs for simplicity in the kitchen. Why spend hours cooking on a hot stove (and heating up your kitchen) when the veggies you have taste so darn good without cooking? By focusing on the fresh tastes of the season, you can put delicious, healthy foods on your plate without spending a lot of time in the kitchen.

Cucumber & Heirloom Tomato Salad

Ingredients
1 medium cucumber, peeled, quartered, and sliced
3 large heirloom tomatoes, mixed colors, chopped and seeded
1/3 cup fresh oregano, chopped
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

Cook’s Note: Feel free to experiment with the fresh herbs that you like the best. Parsley, cilantro, dill, basil, chives (or a combination of) are all great in place of the basil!
