Growing up in San Diego, beach days were a staple in the summer, and as much as I love Northern California, I do miss home so much especially in the late summer early fall as I am craving those beach days. This summer being so cold, I was feeling slightly glum about a lack of beach days, until this weekend. I was able to take a trip with a mixed group of high school and college friends to Catalina Island for a three night camping trip, and I have to say, it was pretty awesome. The weather was perfect, the water was 70 degrees and our campsite was right on the beach. We spent the weekend playing games on the beach, digging holes, snorkeling, paddle boarding, and kayaking and I couldn’t be happier. It was my beach fix for the summer and now I can be satisfied going into the fall, although it doesn’t feel like fall today.

Heres the bean salad I made to go camping but I actually didn’t have any beans.
corn
cucumber
tomatoes
pickled red onion
new mex chilies
Cici’s yummy cilantro sauce (you’ll have to ask her what she puts in it but its a little spicy and really good and what makes this salad to addicting)
I recommend eating it by the spoonful out of corn chips on the beach
