My friend Lucy turned 30 last week, and we celebrated at Weather Up, a very cool bar in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (I’ve got to show you the cocktails, yum). The bar is very cool partly because they allowed thirty of us to take over their peaceful back garden, and partly because they allow you to bring in your own food (why not, you drink more). So Lucy made banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches), summer rolls, and these gorgeous bites: slices of toasted baguette topped with fresh feta, sliced zucchini, lemon zest, olive oil, herbs and a jalapeno for an incredible hint of spice.
Maybe Lucy will write in with the recipe?
UPDATE: THANKS FOR THE RECIPE LU!

Toast baguette, rub some raw garlic on the toast, them crumble greek feta on top. Then just mix all the rest of the ingredients (listed above in post) in a bowl with salt pepper lemon juice and olive oil add a couple extra bits of zest to each one and there you go. Oh, and it was thinnly sliced zucchini, not cucumber! Extra flavor and holds up better for a picnic.
