Rainbow Veggie Salad |
Nothing gets closer to the taste of summer than this peak-of-the-season salad. It features all the wonderful vegetables you can find in the garden or farmer’s market, literally a rainbow-colored salad. I’ll leave it to you to pick out each color in the salad! (Hint: There’s just one color missing: blue.)
Now some don’t like raw carrots or squash in salad, but the key is to chop them very thin and flat, stir fry style. You can see what I mean in the picture. Well, let’s get started! This salad is very simple to throw together. Just chop and mix in a large bowl:
1 head Romaine or green leaf lettuce, soaked in ice water and chopped roughly
2 carrots, thinly sliced 1/2 yellow (summer) squash, thinly sliced
1/4 c. raisins 1 chopped ripe tomato
For the dressing, combine in a jar:
1/2 c. oil 1/4 c. water 2 T. honey
1 T. Dijon mustard 1 T. white wine vinegar 1 t. basil
Shake well and pour over the salad.
A hint of sweetness from the raisins makes this colorful, crunchy salad a top winner! Try it, and tell me what you think!
