Tonight was another case of "holy crap this tasted amazing" but "holy crap...what, do I photograph?!"  I say "I," but really I just did some of the prep work and all the uploading/blog upkeep.  Kate is the real mastermind behind the photographs.  Anyway, tonight we wanted to put something together fast after a day in lab so we could run over to the Tremont Farmers Market.  Tonight there were a ton of local artists as well as the usual great bunch of booths.  We met up with some good friends, and sat out on the blanket enjoying this summery dish.  Of course had to go to Tremont Scoops for a little something afterward, and as we ate our turtle sunday taking in the shimmering glow of the evening sun, we could help but think how this time of year is truly wonderful.  Well, enjoy this fresh, clean, bowl of goodness!

**I got tired of having the word salad in my recipes and this description seemed pretty appropriate. If you cant find some of these specialty ingredients, substitute cilantro and parsley.
