What to Cook: Cucumber Soup with Lemon Salsa

Henrietta Clancy’s Cooling Cucumber Soup with Aromatic Lemon Salsa

The salsa in this recipe is a gamechanger: put it on anything and everything – salads, pasta, egg-based brunches. Just be aware that nothing on the plate will get noticed as much as the salsa.
