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."

  1. LOVE THIS!! We used Queso Fresco cheese. The fresh basil makes this salad wonderful. What a great way to use up those zuchinni! We will eat this again and again
     
  2. Delish! I did make a few adjustments. My son and I both loved it! Thanks! Made for Please Review My recipe game(PRMR).
     
  3. A nice refreshing salad! I took it to a BBQ and it all went. I omitted the lettuce as I just put it all in a serving bowl (I tripled the recipe). I make a similar salad using cucumber instead of zucchini and also garbanzo beans. I bet the garbanzos would be a nice addition to this salad! Oh, I also used Good Seasons Italian salad dressing and didn't measure it, just added until it "looked right". I used feta cheese, but bet those mini fresh mozzarella balls would work really well too. Delish!
     
  4. This was a great recipe, I really enjoyed it. Easy to make and very refreshing. I skipped puttingit on a leaf of lettuce and just served it in a bowl and it was great.
     
  5. What a pleasant surprise! I left out the lettuce (it was all for me anyways!) and used several roma tomatoes, 1 green onion, dried basil and the mozzarella option. So refreshing and a great combo of flavors! Thanks Gert. Now I have a yummy dish for all those tomatoes and zucchini! :lol:

I'm always looking for quick, easy, and wonderful tasting food to fix that my whole family will enjoy... My husband is a picky meat and potatoes man....

Katelyn, will eat whatever she can get her hands on.... Katelyn has some special needs and we have to watch what she eats and how she eats....
