A delicious summertime salad!

Marinated White Anchovy and Cucumber Salad

Don’t let the word “anchovy” scare you. These white anchovies, or boquerones, are much milder than the classic pizza topper and preserved in vinager and oil rather than salt. If you’ve never had them, be sure to give ‘em a try. They’re delicious and refreshing when served with this tangy cucumber and tomato salad.

Wow your friends with this simple, yet refined recipe. Or, if you want to try Marc’s version, it’s available at Ditch Plains UWS until this Sunday. Enjoy!
