Guest guest Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Last week while on vacation, I had a cold veggie salad made of corn kernels, zucchini slices, tomatoes and mushrooms in a tomato broth/dressing. I'll be working on re-creating it in the next few weeks. What is your favorite veggie (non-lettuce) salad recipe? Cheers, Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sliced cucumbers, tomato wedges, and sliced sweet onion, marinated for a little while in a sweet vinegar marinade (I either use rice vinegar, which is sweet on its own, or vinegar and sugar. Unfortunately for low-sodium folks, the key to this one is adding plenty of salt, more than you would think necessary, but most of it ends up in the marinade at the bottom).

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Mary and Serene... both those salads sound wonderful... Since our tomato plants are starting to produce already (thank goodness), lately I've been having fresh tomato and fresh onion thinly sliced with salt and pepper. For dressing I found a plum vinegar at our local whold foods market (Eden Selected Ume Plum Vinegar)... it is naturally sweet and yummy. This is the second specialty vinegar I've tried, the first was a coconut palm vinegar (imported) found in the same market, also delicious. I would reccommend you try any of these different vinegars, they seem sweeter and not as harsh as apple vinegars. Little more expensive but then we don't use tons.
