Summer Harvest Salad
As summer draws to a close and the warm weather fruits and vegetables are at their peak of ripeness, it is easy to create a colorful, nutritious dish with just a few fresh ingredients from your garden, local farmers market or produce section of the grocery store. This salad requires no cooking. It is a great dish for summer picnics or potlucks or when it's too hot to cook. This dish comes together in very little time because the season's best ingredients need very little to bring out their full flavor. With the addition of some grilled tofu, fish or chicken and some crusty bread, you have a light meal ready in no time.
