My aunt is an incredible cook. While my mom is amazing at delicious, simple, relatively quick dishes, my aunt specializes in going all out for large groups of people. She loves to cook and we are all happy to indulge her.

While we were on our staycation at the beach house, she made some dishes that beg to be shared. This first one is a perfect summer appetizer. Refreshing, tasty, and really healthy.
