Salads are a Summer staple in my household. I cannot get enough of the cold crisp veggies in this hot heat of Houston. This Summer Veggie Salad is packed with fresh seasonal ingredients and is perfect on its own as a light lunch or dinner or could be served as a side dish.
I really believe it’s the dressing that makes this salad pop. It’s tangy but not in a pucker your lips kinda way. Just the right amount of sour.
