Tomatillo Cucumber What-Have-You

An exciting CSA haul today! Tomatillos, corn, jalapenos, onion, heirloom tomatoes...and we still had a bunch of cucumbers left. I was thinking...salsa? Gazpacho? Well, I don't have a blender, so this turned into more of a salad...I don't know, it's a what-have-you.

Here are the CSA players (plus a big heirloom tomato):


Everything got chopped small (garlic minced) - corn left raw 'cause it's so fresh. Raw tomatillos are pretty tart, but they get mellowed by the other stuff in the mix.

I added a can of black beans and a bunch of chopped cilantro. Then made a little bit of dressing from the juice of 1 lime, salt, chili powder and olive oil. 


Rob randomly bought some tostada shells and I was like "huh, what are you gonna do with that?" He didn't have a plan, but...ding! Threw some grated cheddar on a couple, warmed in the toaster oven and piled the what-have-you on top. Scooped out an avocado and dotted with some Meier Devil's Envy hot sauce (great folks we found at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival). 


No-cook and tasty! This would also probably be great if you roasted the corn, tomatillos & jalapenos, but no heat is good right now.
