In the dog days of summer, I am drawn to foods with a bit of acidity, pickled vegetables, caper berries, vinegars of all flavors. I crave salads composed of fruits with differing textures and flavors. August flavors deliver on all those regards. Heirloom tomatoes reach their zenith, corn peaks in sweetness, herbs add versatility and a splash of freshness. These heat - soaked days are perfect for truly savoring summer's ultimate flavors.
Enough said!
