Cucumbers & Tomatoes

We are getting to the end of our growing season but there's still a lot going on. I've been busy with an over abundance of cucumbers and zucchini so pickles and zucchini bread have been my life for some time now. I finally got to the end of the cucumber crop and pulled up my vines. I sure will miss them once we eat the last one of the season.

 

Early Russian Cucumber & Grape Tomatoes

While I was pondering what to do with the produce on my counter, my husband walked in, looked at the mounded pile and requested macaroni salad. What a great guy!!! Perfect timing.

Garden Macaroni Salad

~ Garden Macaroni Salad Recipe ~

• Box Macaroni noodles, prepared (Wild Oats Organic)
• 12 or so grape tomatoes, sliced
• 1 pealed cucumber or zucchini, diced
• 1/2 onion, diced
• Mayonnaise
• 2 Tablespoons Mustard (Koop's Organic Dijon)
• Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper 

Mix prepared pasta, sliced tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced onion, mayo, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. I also like to add Italian herbs like basil and oregano but that's optional. Refrigerate. Serve cold. 

I actually prefer it with zucchini but I wanted to save the last few for something else. 

Enjoy!!!
