This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few odds and ends in my fridge, and this salad is a great way to use them up.

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add some grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more substantial meal.

This salad was a hit at our last patio party! The flavors are so fresh and summery, and the dressing is light and tangy. I'll definitely be making this again.
