Tamra's Notes:
Summer is the best time of year for fresh veggies and fruit. So I thought I would post one of my summer salad recipes. It is a very simple summer salad; without tomatoes because my daughter refuses to eat them, but I love making it with tomatoes too. The secret is in the vinigars, and of course the flavors get better the longer you allow it to marinate. I hope you give it a try
 
 

Directions

1
Peel and cut cucumber into thick slices
2
Peel and cut red onion into chuncks. matching the size of the cucumbers
3
Add the remaining ingredients, and toss.
4
Cover, and refridgerate at least 30 mins.

Tamra,I made your Summer Salad tonight and it was wonderful, a huge hit! I was a little disappointed when I couldn't find the orange muscat chapagne vinegar(we don't have a Trader Joes),but I used a very nice aged Pinot Grigio Italian Wine vinegar in it's place. We love tomatoes so I put in a nice variey including heirloom and campari of different shapes and sizes. I added some fresh basil chiffonade. It was gorgeous! Thank s for such a fresh and delicious recipe.

I am so excited because I bought that very same vinegar at Trader Joe's but haven't used it yet. Just sitting in the cupboard. Now, I know what I am going to make with it. Thanks for sharing and look forward to trying this recipe. Wooohooo....
