Tomato and Cucumber Summer Salad

Summer has arrived in Brooklyn, and, inspired by the lovely weather, I purchased about a zillion vegetables this weekend with the intent of cooking all weekend and having leftovers all week.  I’m one recipe in so far, and I think I may have accidentally purchased enough veggies to feed five people for a week –…
