Summer's almost here; time to savor fresh flavors

What's to love about this time of year? Tomatoes from the farmers' market, topped with fresh mozzarella, basil from my garden and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Yellow and red bell peppers with sweet onions, brushed with just a bit of olive oil and grilled to perfection. Simple green salad of fresh-picked romaine topped with a light vinaigrette, a few dried cranberries, pecans and shaved parmesan. Fresh cut chives to garnish grilled new potatoes. A sprig of garden parsley on every plate. Dinner on the deck.
