Fresh Summertime Vegetable Salad image

With summer here salads just seem to be what I crave with my meals. This is a colourful salad that can be prepared ahead of time using mainly ingredients that are locally available and be ready and waiting when you get home, or take it along for as part of a picnic. Try to use fresh tarragon. It has far more flavour than dried. The tomatoes to use are those wonderful large slicing tomatoes that are available in the summer.

I'm not a huge fan of raw vegetables, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing is so flavorful that it really enhances the vegetables.

This salad was a hit at our summer gathering! The fresh vegetables were crisp and flavorful, and the dressing was light and tangy. I'll definitely be making this again.
