Cool Cucumber Salsa
I have a little mirror attached to the rearview mirror in my car. It telescopes and twists and turns so that I can keep an eye on my babe while I’m driving.
I picked up our CSA share today, and I set the bag on the back seat as I do every week.
This week, when I got in the front seat, I saw something that really made me laugh.
I didn’t scold her or take it away because – seriously? The kid grabbed a fresh cucumber out of the bag and starting eating it! It was a parent’s dream.
She crunched that cucumber the whole way home.
In honor of Gracie’s sudden affection for cucumbers, I am reposting my cucumber salsa recipe. It’s dee-licious.
