Re: Favorite ways to use garden produce
Summer tomatoes are the best. For lunch, under the broiler...bread with a little mayo, a fat slice of tomato, top with a little grated cheese or just a sprinkle of salt and pepper. I honesty could eat that every day!
Zucchini bread.

Re: Favorite ways to use garden produce
Cucumbers:
I love cucumber salads of all kinds. Here are a few of my faves: Cilantro Lime Cumber Salad Sweet-and-Sour Cucumbers with Dill Cucumbers dressed simply with white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper and dill Radishes: I loved these sauteed in a little butter with plenty of salt and pepper. It totally mellows out the flavor. Tomatoes: Who can beat a summertime BLT with tomatoes fresh from the garden?! Asparagus: I love this fresh from the garden and lightly steamed with salt, pepper, a pat of butter and a squeeze of lemon juice. The best! ---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ---------- This is our favorite fruit salad and we add a little mint from the garden to it.

Re: Favorite ways to use garden produce
The two garden items that we are always in abundance of in harvest season is zucchini and heirloom tomatoes.
Zucchini noodles are an absolute fave here. I use them as a pasta or rice substitute. LOVE LOVE LOVE so much. Sauteed or raw. Stuffed zucchini boats are a fantastic use of the bigger zukes that get lost under those leaves. I also do zucchini rounds which are just slices of zucchini drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper and parm cheese and baked. Of course zucchini bread and zucchini brownies. Tomatoes are used as much as possible fresh in a wide variety of ways. Then I puree the rest and freeze to use in recipes all winter long.

Re: Favorite ways to use garden produce
I'd like to get my hands on a larger zucchini this summer and try zucchini lasagna. The zucchini in the grocery stores are so small.

Re: Favorite ways to use garden produce
I just learned how to make spegetti sauce, so I'm going to take advantage of tomato season this year to stock up. Dd2 makes killer salsa.
I want to learn how to make 'spegetti' from zuccini.
