Notes from Sara:

This dish was first introduced to me by my friend, wonder mom and part time Catering Chef, Nicole. We have done many trips together with a group of friends and Nicole and I are always the resident cooks of the weekend. I've gotten so much inspiration from her and this, my all time favorite, has become a Reilly summer dinner mainstay and also my favorite thing to bring to potlucks (are those a thing again?). I hope you find it as refreshing and delicious as we do!
