This is a wonderful side item to your dinner or a great snack. This is a quick, easy, healthy and refreshing salad to add as a side item to your main entrée or enjoy as a mid afternoon snack. The ingredients are also likely to be in your pantry and/or refrigerator already!
All of the ingredients were organic and I picked up the fresh vegetables out of our home garden or the local farmer's market.
Tips: Add additional vegetables such as shredded carrots or cucumbers for an additional crisp and cool variety. I also suggest utilizing red onions instead of white or yellow as it adds a sweeter flavor. For additional protein, feel free to add grilled chicken, tofu or cheese such as feta.
