Simple Summer Salad


Salad without lettuce, as my three-year-old calls it, is an easy salad that serves as a great lunch or side to a pasta dinner.  It is especially delicious during the summer when cucumbers and tomatoes are fresh and delicious.  I grow both in my garden and love to pick some from my backyard and turn it into an easy dish!

Serves 4 (as a side dish)

2 Carrots, peeled and sliced
About Half of an English Cucumber, sliced (I slice in quarters for bite size pieces)
1/2 to 3/4 Cup Grape Tomatoes, sliced in half
1/3 to 1/2 Cup Roasted Red Peppers, chopped (I love Cento the best, when homemade is not available)
1/4 Cup Crumbled Feta
2 Tbsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2-3 Tbsps Seasoned Rice Wine Vinegar

Combine all of the veggies and cheese in a bowl.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Add oil and vinegar and toss to combine.  Enjoy!
