The arrival of summer means two very important things: I can drink coffee on the back patio and I can start making my favorite seasonal meal. It’s not extravagant, but it is the epitome of summer: salmon, potatoes, asparagus and tsatsiki.

And with the new camera, I just can’t stop taking food pictures… maybe this should turn into an epicurean blog…

Along those lines, here is my killer recipe for summer tsatsiki:

1 1/2 cup goat yogurt

1 cup thinly sliced/shredded cucumber

1/4 cup cilantro

1/4 cup chopped pecans

1 teaspoon olive oil

dash of salt and pepper
