Jump to RecipeI ran into the store today to pick up a few things and noticed that some of the fall décor was already on the shelves.
I'm not quite there yet. It's still a hundred degrees out and I can't wrap my head around fall.
Since we are in the hottest part of the year, we really are loving the salads. I don't always want to eat salads with leafy greens though. Sometimes I want a different texture. So, I whipped up a lemon shrimp cucumber salad as part of our dinner.
It livens up the meal with crisp cucumbers and a bright, citrus flavor. It tastes like summer in a salad.
