In the past, I have tried to grow tomatoes and peppers in my garden. I have never been successful. Not ever. This year, my cousins told us they were trying a product called Earth Box. They suggested that I try it also.
To my amazement, I was soon growing tomatoes, cucumbers, cauliflower and red peppers! They all grew so well, I found myself with more of these vegetables than I had ever imagined!
Finding uses for all my lovely produce was quite the challenge! I had more cucumbers and tomatoes than I knew what to do with. Some I shared with friends, some I kept. They were delicious!
I remembered reading about this salad many times throughout the summer months. I thought I would give it a try.
You should too! I read through many recipes and combined the ingredients I liked the most, and came up with this delicious salad. It is great as an appetizer, a side dish or for brunch.
Whatever you decide to use it for, just give it a try! It really is delightful and I promise you will not be sorry!
