Summer Salad

Broccoli Flowerets: trimmed bite-size
Cauliflower Flowerets: trimmed bite-size
Cucumber: De-seeded & cubed in small pieces
Green, Red & Yellow Peppers: Small pieces
Tomatoes - grape ones - sliced
Red Onion - sliced thin (optional)

Chop all as noted, mix well. No dressing. * Let sit several hours before serving for better blend of flavors.
Do not mix in red onion until just before serving.
Serve with favorite salad dressing as desired.
* OR - at time of mixing, mix in a little Italian or Ranch Dressing and then chill several hours. Up to you.
And this is very nice served on top of lettuce too.

Here are some more I found:

I live in north Florida, so when the tomatoes get ripe, along with young tender squash.........mmmmmmmmmm!

1 c. thinly sliced young tender squash
1 c. thinly sliced young tender cukes
1 - 2 good ripe tomatoes
1 Vidalia onion (preferred, but can use other after season)
S & P to taste

Pour just enough ranch dressing (either your own or bought) to moisten. This is good today, tomorrow and the day after! And you can vary the ingredients, make in larger batches for potlucks, etc.
