Every part needs to be made so simple as doable, however not easier.

This salad is the results of final week’s journey to the Farmer’s Market right here in Vancouver, the place I used to be pleasantly shocked by the haul I received for the seemingly little or no cash I spent. The produce this 12 months is simply unbelievable, from the berries and cherries to the greens and veggies which are overflowing in every single place. We’re nonetheless consuming tidbits from the market journey nearly every week in the past in case you can imagine it, and I’m itching to return for one more crack at this scrumptious bread and extra importantly, this handcrafted native butter – just some of my favorite finds from the final go to.
This tremendous tasty salad is a results of combining a few of my favorite summer time crops – freshly shelled peas, minced cilantro, and yellow zucchini so candy and tender it’s best loved uncooked. Add to it corn that’s grilled on the barbecue when you put together all the pieces else, and also you’ve received a tasty summer time addition that’s nearly as good by itself because it tossed with black beans, pasta, or greens. I’m dying to make this one once more!
I hope you’re all having fun with some slower summer time residing and this time to re-charge and unwind just a little in case you can 🙂 I’ve had some re-decorating on the thoughts of late after final summer time’s main purge, which was all about letting go of outdated muddle and making room for the brand new. We’ve adjusted to the cleaner, extra minimalist life in our little home and it’s a change I discover myself celebrating day-after-day – now we get to herald some newness and I’m excited to leap in to the mission (and grateful for Pinterest boards that maintain me organized and impressed). Get pleasure from mates! Plenty of summer time love from Vancouver! XOX
