Our August Recipe of the Month Winner, Juanita McDaniel of Fayette, AL describes herself as a good cook. “Every time we have a family gathering, they want to know what I came up with to cook.” She also loves cookbooks. Congratulations, Juanita!

She serves this zippy salad, which makes the most out of August's sweet tomatoes, with tortilla chips and “likes it with (her) vegetables.”

For her winning entry Ms. McDaniel will receive a Buy Fresh Buy Local prize package and a copy of the Southern Farmers Market Cookbook by Holly Herrick.
