Summer Time Is Here!


Or at least in LA, when it hits 80 degrees and up, it feels like summer is here.
It's hard to tell when it's always sunny.

I found this recipe in the book I am reading, Naturally Thin, and it's super easy and delicious.
If summer had a taste, I think this would be it! I will be eating this salad and watermelon until September. See if you like it!

Cool Cucumber Salad
From Bethenny Frankel's book, "Naturally Thin"

1 medium cucumber
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
1 tsp honey
1 tsp lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste.

Peel and thinly slice the cucumber. Put the slices in a bowl and set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the vinegar, dill, honey, and lemon juice. Pour over the cucumbers and toss to coat. Season with a little salt and pepper.

Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and incorporate the flavors.
Garnish with extra sprigs of fresh dill.

Eat!
