"A summer pot is primal summer - flashy colors, bright tastes, all crunchy and raw. It is a cool stew you put together with a few things you pick up on the way home. Don't bother turning on the stove. Adapted from Lynne Rosetto Kasper."

This was a fantastic treat and very refreshing after a hot day doing a long hike followed up by planting a garden! The only ingredient's I added that weren't on the list were cilantro and I felt it needed a little salt. It took me a little while to prepare because the food processor I own is my knife and cutting board...LOL!!! So worth it though! It was an incredible array of flavors and we ate the meal placing large spoonfuls of the summer pot on top of some organic corn chips. Yum! Thanks again for another great recipe!!! We're trying your Mango Salad w/ grilled shrimp recipe tomorrow -Ian
