TOMATO AND ZUCCHINI SALAD
What a better way to use those fresh veggies from the Farmers Market this summer. I found this in a Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I didn't think I'd like the raw zucchini but it was great.

CUCUMBER TOMATO SALAD WITH ZUCCHINI AND BLACK OLIVES IN LEMON BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
This is a deliciously light and fresh-tasting twist on cucumber tomato salad. It takes me to the water's edge, and begs to be served with fresh seafood. Substitute Greek kalamata olives for black olives if desired.

SALAD WITH ZUCCHINI, CANNELLINI, & TOMATOES
This is a "green" salad, but I had to leave the word off, or everything wouldn't fit on the title line. The recipe is in the Vegetarian Express cookbook. This would also be good without the lettuce and made as a bean salad, using the same other ingredients. Tweaked.
