This chocolate bar is a favorite in Canada. What can go wrong with chocolate, peanut butter, and peanuts? Delicious and so simple!

Ingredients

  1. 2 medium Roma tomatoes
  2. ½ large English cucumber, peeled and seeded

  7. 2 cups packed fresh arugula

A very delicious salad. The simple ingredients meld to make a dish greater than the sum of its parts. I doubled the recipe for a family picnic and it vanished in the blink of an eye. Some modifications had to be made due to our semi-rural location and the horrible post-…. I hope it’s just post-Covid supply chain issues. The English cucumber was replaced by a standard cucumber. Also, as a substitute for the sumac, I used a heaping tablespoon of lemon peel and 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper. For the lemon peel I used a vegetable peeler and thinly shaved the peel from a whole lemon and minced it as finely as possible.
