Summer Delight in LA

Delicious Greek Salad


It’s July. Officially summer. I love summer! Summer in West LA is amazing! Giggles, girlfriends, margaritas, and the beach! Another reason to celebrate summer is the amazing abundance of fruits and vegetables that are in season. In my opinion, there is no better way to bring in the summer season than a drunken evening of friends, laughter, too much red wine and a delicious Greek salad! Enjoy.

• 3 Persian Cucumbers, chopped
