Clifton Holt, the executive chef and owner of Little Savannah Restaurant & Bar in Birmingham shared this quick and easy blend of fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs. Holt demonstrated this dish at the Market at Pepper Place this morning (though he did change it up with different ingredients from the market), which you can watch below. Best of all, these are ingredients you can pick up at the market and make yourself all summer long.
