when i found out i was hosting a last minute feast last night i had about an hour or so to prepare.

let me stress this. an hour.

i had no plan.

no ideas.

nothing.

a last minute trip to the store produced a pomegranate, fish for the vegetarians, a steak,  mushrooms and a lime.

these people weren’t in for anything special. it was going to be a last minute free for all…and then this happened…

cucs

a quick salad full of herbs, cucumbers, scallions and pomegranate seeds.

a spin on a classic.

easy. a quick chop, a quick shake of the dressing. toss it all together. there you have it.

something a little different. something fun. and something i will be making at my next bbq.
