During these unusual times, a trip to the grocery can represent the pinnacle of the day. A trip to a farm stand could be the peak of the whole week, just like it was for us recently when we pulled into Shenot Farms looking for something delicious.

Pecks of green and yellow Zebra tomatoes beckoned. A tray of Yellow Doll watermelons was fast disappearing. And long yellow peppers promised to be as spicy as they were beautiful. A salad formed in our minds then and there, and it proved to be a spectacular side for a grilled meal.
