Gazpacho Salad

Is it hot enough outside for you?

These warm days certainly call for salad! I have visited our farmer’s market the last two weeks and bought nice fresh cucumbers and green peppers. We are getting ripe tomatoes from our own two plants every day. It’s such a treat having fresh veggies - there is nothing better. I’m not sure where this recipe originated, but I found it in my recipe file. It’s fast and easy and uses the fresh veggies we have available now!

Layer vegetables in a large bowl, combine dressing ingredients, pour over vegetables, chill over night, toss together before serving.
