It’s a double post Friday!! For this round of the recipe swap, hosted by Sarah of A Taste of Home Cooking, the theme was Side Dishes. Not only did I receive one great side dish from Sparks from the Kitchen, but one of the ladies had her baby in the midst of this swap so I also made her recipe, which came from DeLish DeMaria! How lucky am I to be able to make TWO great dishes?!?!
Any dish that involves fresh veggies and lemon juice is a winner in my book, and this dish is just so fresh and easy to prepare that it can be a go-to at any time. Just look at it! I definitely see this being a recurring summer side dish, and I suggest you try it out soon as well!!
As always, thanks to Sarah for hosting these swaps, and be sure to check out the other great recipes below!
