It has been awhile since I've done a Real Food post. "Real Food February" is now "Real Food"-no more month time frame to stress me out : ) I actually have a ton of pictures all lined up and ready to be blogged about--so, as soon as I get those finished, expect a flurry of delicious recipes coming your way.
This one is great--easy, fresh, and perfect to share at a summer picnic. You'll love it.
