This was last night at 8:15 - a few weeks ago we had light until 9:15 - it goes fast in the North.
Let's make the most of the Summer we can, with the State Fair starting this week and these 5 recipes to try before summer’s end.
Watermelon Salad With Feta and Mint is always a quintessential Summer Salad for me.
I love this Salad on a pretty platter or shallow bowl like these:
Ellie’s Cucumber Salad is perfect for the last of the Summer Cucumbers. I added Feta to the recipe and served it with fried Walleye (a recipe from the True North Cabin cookbook - Vol 1 - Get in on Kindle now for .99)
Creamy Dill Macaroni Salad screams Summer potlucks and grilled beer can chicken. It’s easy to make and always a crowd pleaser.
One more last hurrah with the Dilly Potato Salad
And finally…the Panzanella Salad with all those Summer tomatoes
