"...and the sea cucumber turns to the mollusk and says, 'With fronds like these, who needs anemones?'" -Finding Nemo by Pixar Studios

The refrigerator light goes on...

This is a one pan meal that takes about ten minutes to assemble. It takes another 45 minutes to chill, but the combination of the slight spiciness of the poblano with the cool cucumber and the creamy lime scented goat cheese makes it the perfect salad. Light but full of flavor.
