Tomato, Cucumber, and Pita Salad

Wednesday Menu – Grilled Chicken, Corn on the Cob, Tomato, Cucumber, and Pita Salad
Farm Share Produce – Corn, Golden Rave Tomatoes, Cilantro
Other Local Produce – Cucumber

This salad was a perfect “piece meal” for kids. When I break a dish into its pieces and give those to the kids, I call it a “piece meal”. They had a pile of pita chips (big hit) and a salad of bare cucumber and tomato. I’m hoping someday they’ll enjoy food that touches other food!
