The combination of lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro in the Feb. 2-3 bag makes me think Mexican! So in that spirit, I’m posting a few Mexican- and South American-inspired dishes. Cucumbers make me think of refreshing summer drinks so a few of those recipes appear too. And remember, we are now selling locally raised beef from the Big Island.
Use your Green Growers tomatoes and Nalo Greens cilantro (and maybe some avocados left over from the Jan. 26-27 bag?)
4 servings, about 1 1/2 cups each
