Pinch My Salt has a great recipe for a Sweet and Spicy Dill Cucumber Salad. The salad was in a recent tweet and it sounded wonderful especially for the hot weather we have been having in south Louisiana. Like all the recipes we make we always look for a way to make it Cajun. For this one we did two things: we changed Rice Vinegar to Louisiana Cane Vinegar and added fresh Louisiana Gulf boiled shrimp. The salad tasted as good as it looked. We think we will keep a container in the fridge all summer.
Thank you Pinch My Salt for this great recipe.

Our favorite farmers market is the Red Stick Farmers Market in downtown Baton Rouge, LA. Local fresh produce, meats, cheese, eggs, and other products are available year round. At a recent visit we purchased a chicken, bag of sweet onions, red sweet peppers along with other items. Once home we decided to use our purchases to make Chicken Salad. This salad can also be made using leftover chicken.
Enjoy! Mais C’est Bon!!
