Yes, you surely did justice to the local bounty. Your salad and gazpacho look refreshing and flavorful. Knowing that the ingredients are all fresh and local definitely elevates the eating experience.

High-powered blender ... yeah! The cucumber and melon gazpacho with the specks of green and orange looks like it has just the right thickness to it. A little sweet, a little tangy and full of flavor. I love the addition of the jalapeno and red onion to give it a little kick and bite.

The freshness of the salad with the peach basil dressing (this sounds delicious, btw) is wonderful. Who could resist the sprouting lentils when they look so beautiful?

Thanks for your sincere support of the contest. You're right, we have a bunch of cool people "that keep the ship sailing" and we are so appreciative of it. So amazing!!!
