Simple Summer Salad

Simple Summer Salad

You can make this Salad any time of the year. Its one of my favorite Summer salads.

I don't measure out the ingredients. You as much or as little of each vegetable or add others of your choice.

In a large mixing bowl combine:
Cucumber Sliced into Half Moons
Broccoli Florets
Grape Tomatoes cut in half
Red Onion Chopped
10 oz can of Black Beans, Drained and Rinsed
1 Package of Mozzarella Pearls 

Make a simple Vinaigrette to taste
Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
Red Wine Vinegar
Salt and Pepper
Garlic and Onion Powder
Basil

Pour over the Salad and give it a mix. Adjust any seasonings. Place into a serving bowl or container and refrigerate.

I make this Salad in the morning, I find it taste better when the salad has a chance to sit to enhance all the flavors.

I often times will add Shredded Carrots, Chopped Celery and Green and or Red Peppers. Also Zucchini works well in this Salad. 

ENJOY!
