Author Notes
This is a perfect, easy no-cook summer salad that's hearty and filling as a main dish. Play around with the chopped veggies - I'm sure something like fresh corn, grapes or firm plums, or raisins and walnuts, feta cheese, would be delicious too. Part of the fun is playing with the colors, yellow peppers, green cucumber, red tomato - you can mix it up with what you find at the market.
This goes perfectly with crusty toasts, some old fashioned plain yogurt, and ice coffee on the side. —NinaM
