Rapid City and Black Hills gardens are doing wonderful! The spring and early summer weather has been ideal. Now we are getting into harvest time: lettuce, summer squash and zucchini abound! There are even radishes left that haven't gone quite woody yet. I found this lovely summer salad recipe to share. The colors look so inviting together. Add some grilled chicken to make this a complete, easy light meal. Or, says the recipe creator:
"Great for a light lunch when you are rushing around. Made with summer squash, this is a great twist on salad."
Serve on lettuce for a beautiful presentation.

Rapid City also offers a Farmer's Market. Lots of fresh vegetables, jellys & jams and the most amazing blueberry muffins! The market meets Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings starting at 9am on Omaha Street, by what we Rapid Citian's "affectionately" call the "Big Fish". You will recognize it when you see it!
Check back on Friday for our newest open house feature and I'll see what I can round up for fun things for you to do this weekend!
