A Taste of Russia

As I look through photos from the past couple of months, I see a recurring theme.  A particular side dish at meals has been exciting time after time, and I kept forgetting I had already taken photos of it to share. So here they are!


Cucumber season reminds me of Russia - the place where I first learned to enjoy this crunchy, juicy produce. They serve it tossed with oil and vinegar. And when available -- dill weed!




And while there are still a few cucumbers left on the vines, I always wait for tomatoes add yet another lovely layer of Russian flavor.

Chunks of mild cheese are another traditional part of this recipe. You should try it!
