It's been more than six months since I scanned and posted one of the recipe cards from my grandmother Bunny's collection. I was motivated to pull the little oak box off the living room bookshelf last night, out of curiosity and a desire to shake up my cooking a bit (I've been cooking the same three or four meals (pasta with scrambled sausage and veggies, turkey burger with cauliflower and salad with grilled chicken) far too often lately.
The recipe on this card appealed to me because of the simplicity of the dish, as well as the fact that tomatoes and cucumbers are now in season and appearing plentifully all across grocery stores and farmers markets. This is something that I'd eat on its own for a fresh lunch salad (maybe with a few crackers or pita chips) but you could incorporate it into an Indian-themed spread or use it to supplement take out from your local curry place.
