We've had an interesting start to Spring with a little over 12" of snow dropped on us. Truth be told that was not the kind of spring cleaning I was planning on doing! I'm excited for warmer weather and the produce our kitchen garden will hopefully gift us. This easy spring salad has a crisp, clean taste to get our palettes ready for lighter spring fare. The Orange Flower Water adds a light flowery flavor to crisp cucumbers and tart bright onions.

Here's my recipe:
