Summer Crunch Salad

No ratings yet
This Summer Crunch Salad is my favorite way to use up those end of summer vegetables and herbs from the garden. It is a vibrant, refreshing dish made with crisp cucumbers, sweet cherry tomatoes, sharp radishes, and sweet red bell peppers, tossed with fresh parsley and chives, and finished with a simple dressing of olive oil and lime juice.
