Garden Tossed Salad image

My Italian grandma grew all of her produce in her backyard garden, so many of her recipes made good use of her bountiful fresh vegetables. This salad is refreshing with any main course and one of our favorites because of the flavors of my Italian heritage. -Rosalie Rizzolo-Wright, San Jose, California

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't look as colorful as the picture. Maybe I didn't use the right kind of vegetables.
