joyfalzonezucchini crudo with summer herbs
No CommentsRead moreEvery year since my husband and I have had a garden, I harvest our very first summer squash and turn it into thinly sliced crudo. I think eating zucchini raw is the best way to enjoy it. The recipe I’m sharing today along with this one from the archives, are my favorites! Simply slice the zucchini with a mandolin or ceramic slicer and top with olive oil, fresh lemon juice and handfuls of fresh summer herbs! It is a light, refreshing appetizer or snack perfect for this humid weather.

joyfalzonesummer quinoa salad with cucumber, arugula & sun dried tomato
2 CommentsRead moreSummer is in full swing here on the east coast and I’d like to share my favorite summer quinoa salad recipe with you. I’ve made this dozens of times and love bringing it to parties or family gatherings. If you are unfamiliar with quinoa (pronounced keen-wah), it is a gluten free grain-like seed that originated from South America.
