Lemon Cucumber Tofu Salad Recipe The other night I found myself standing in front of a 6-foot by 4-foot display of summer squash. Standing, staring, thinking about what I might need for the week. An older gentleman came up beside me carrying a handful of lemon cucumbers. They were beautiful. The size of baseballs, pale with vibrant yellow marks. With a twinkle in his eye, he started telling me how much he'd enjoyed the cucumbers he'd purchased the previous week. A bunch of you replied with really great ideas. I had everything but the capers, and went for it. For those of you who have never encountered a lemon cucumber, you can see a picture of one up above. Thanks to all of you who provided ideas. I served this over a platter of cooked mung beans (which I love), but I imagine it would be delicious over salad greens, brown rice or soba noodles as well. Toss the cucumbers, dill, olive oil, lemon juice and salt together in a medium bowl. In the meantime, cook the tofu. Just before serving cut the avocado into cubes.

lemon poppy seed pancakes one of my favorite childhood memories was when my mom would make breakfast for dinner. i know that may not sound like a big deal, but i loved the idea of breakfast for dinner. it was out of the ordinary. even now, when i have a hard day or just need a pick-me-up i make breakfast for dinner. it is comforting. one of my favorite cookbooks is by Heidi Swanson - Cook 1.0: A Fresh Approach to the Vegetarian Kitchen. she delivers some truly wonderful recipes and the pancake section is amazing. if you have read picky cook for any amount of time, you will already know my love of lemon. i know it may seem like a lot of zest in this recipe but trust me - it is perfect! i served these lemon poppy seed pancakes with macerated berries (any mix of berries would work). just add a bit of sugar to the berries and let them sit at room temp while you make the pancakes. another serving option would be raspberry syrup. i hope you enjoy them as much as i do. butter, to serve (and for pan) lemon curd desserts
