ZUCCHINI AVOCADO SALAD
From "Sundays at Moosewood," their brunch cookbook. Light, refreshing, and vegan, it's a nice change of pace that quite nearly qualifies as 'raw' food. Cook time is minimum chill time. Add other spices as you wish (I like to combine the oil, lemon juice, and garlic with some rosemary about half an hour before tossing with the veggies).

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.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure that your salad is bursting with flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and slightly soft to the touch.
- Use a variety of zucchini. Different types of zucchini will give your salad different flavors and textures. Try using a combination of green, yellow, and pattypan squash.
- Don't overcook the zucchini. Zucchini should be cooked until it is just tender-crisp. Overcooked zucchini will be mushy and bland.
- Use a light vinaigrette dressing. A heavy dressing will overwhelm the delicate flavors of the vegetables. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper is all you need.
- Add some fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will brighten up the flavors of the salad. Try adding basil, oregano, or thyme.
Conclusion:
This tomato, zucchini, and avocado salad is a refreshing and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and flavorful salad, give this one a try!
