I’m all alone in my household of four.
No one else enjoys cucumbers. Or cherry tomatoes.
No one, but me.
Sniff.
Sometimes, I just have to celebrate my cucumber-and-cherry-tomato-loving-ways.
And sneak in things like this Cherry Tomato and Cucumber Salad.
Even if I’m the only one who eats it, it’s still darn tasty.
So there.

We should grow tomatoes and cucumbers so you can make this from scratch 🙂
Hi Lacey,
I really enjoy your site, stories and recipes.
I enjoy the cucumber and tomato salad. I kick it up a little and add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
I live in Alaska and just went on a Halibut fishing trip. I am looking forward to trying yor Halibut Picatta.
When I first signed up for your news letter/ free cookbook offer I entered my email address. Was it actually a cookbook or recipes with your newsletter?
If you sent an actual collection of recipes/cookbook my husband deleated it as he did not recognize the “Sweet Pea” address. He knows better now.
Could you resend the cookbook to me?
Thank-you, Tara Watkins

In each newsletter, there is a link to my free newsletter. If you’d prefer, however, I’d be happy to send you the link via email. P.S. I hope you enjoy the Halibut Picatta — it sounds amazing with fresh halibut!
