Set the Table 2018 | Week 10

I am going to set the table with this Cucumber Pesto all Spring and Summer long!

Click back to Friday's Carrot Top Pesto recipe and simply add as much diced cucumber as you'd like. 

So ridiculously easy.

You'll have yourself one heck of a dip, side dish or topping for just about anything (salads, meat, fish, vegetables, chips... YUM). 

Here's what I did today (for a late lunch) after a fire ballin day of pitching lessons:

I diced up a few leftover grilled shrimp and mixed in a heaping tablespoon of Cucumber Pesto + a heaping tablespoon of plain greek yogurt +  squeeze of lemon juice.

I'm not even sure what to call this...

It's my kind of open faced, shrimp and cucumber pesto, egg-asmic food heaven! 

I savored every bite, without distraction, nice and sloooooooooooooow.

Just like the perfect change up.
