Strawberry- Cucumber Relish Recipe for Dinner in the Meadow

Dinner Meadow Logo Banner

We’re excited to contribute to the fifth annual Dinner in the Meadow, a fundraising event for the Leonard-Mobley Small Farm Fund. Founded in 2014, the Small Farm Fund gives to local small farmers in several NC counties (including Wake County). Dinner in the Meadow takes place outside at Meadow Lane Farm, a beautiful setting for a fundraiser! It includes delicious meals made by North Carolina chefs using locally-sourced ingredients. WUNC’s Frank Stasio will be hosting this year’s event. If you want to purchase tickets, be sure to do it soon! They go fast!

One of the participating restaurants is Mandolin, a Raleigh favorite. For seven years, Mandolin has been bringing food rooted in Southern Culture with influences from around the world to the historic Hayes Barton neighborhood. Now, to promote the Dinner in the Meadow event, Mandolin Chef Sean Fowler has shared his Strawberry-Cucumber Relish Recipe with us and we’re happy to pass it on to our members. It’s an easy, tasty recipe that will bring summer sweetness to your salad!
