I don’t know about you, but I love hot weather, parties outside and yummy, spring flavors! I'm not really into the “comforting” heavy recipes of winter. Give me all of the cold salads, grilled veggies and fresh fruits.

WHAT ARE CAPERS?
If you are not familiar with capers, some of you may be asking "what are capers?" "What do they taste like?"
Capers are the un-ripened flower buds of capparis spinosa, a prickly, perennial plant which is native to the Mediterranean and some parts of Asia. The small, green herb buds lend a sour and salty flavor to salads, dressings, sauces, vegetables and a variety of main dishes.
