Over at our Green Thumb Geeks, my wife Emily just jumped into the Summer Fest fray with a great simple recipe for this week’s theme: Cucumber, Tomato, and Red Onion Salad:

Also, we have a recipe for Bread and Butter pickles from a few weeks back that any pickle-lover would enjoy:

As well as this refreshing cucumber sorbet:

And some good old reliable lacto-fermented pickles (a recipe that’s really adaptable; I just made a batch with garlic, tarragon and chile pepper)

I’m really looking forward to reading everyone’s recipes…and I’ll try to do a dedicated Summer Fest post next week

My contribution to the Summer Fest is Cucumber, Feta, & Walnut. A very yummy and refreshing combination!
