A Cozy Cucumber + Tomato Salad with CBD
By Anna Duckworth
As the leaves start to change — for some of us, at least! — and the temperatures start to plummet, a warm bowl of soup or a turkey ragu might be all we can think about. But not so fast. Cold weather is not an excuse for excluding fresh veggies from your daily diet. And so, we tapped co-founder of Plant People and one of our fave chefs Gabe Kennedy for a salad fit for the cozy nights ahead.
“This salad is a total crowd-pleaser and as it sits, it gets even better! It's simple, refreshing and texturally fun too." - Chef Gabe Kennedy
