My sister and I created this fresh salad at one of our "recipe nights" and it's been a hit at every party since! Try red pepper flakes for a little kick if you'd like, or add Greek pepperoncini. -Jennifer Freier, Algonquin, Illinois

This salad was a bit too bland for me. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more salt and pepper.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have extra tomatoes and cucumbers in the fridge, so this salad is a perfect way to use them up.
