**WARNING: Delicious recipe coming your way!!**
If today is any indication of what is to come in the next few months, then it's time to start collecting some "cool food" for the nights when you just cannot bring yourself to stand over a stove or oven. As we move into the summer months, the plan is to share some (ALWAYS easy, ALWAYS delicious) recipes for those heat streaks.
As I was looking for some "hot weather" recipe ideas, the first one to pop up was this Sesame Cucumber Spiralized Salad and I could instantly picture myself eating it. I knew it was the one!
