VEGGIE SALAD

What a day yesterday.  My beautiful, awesome Granddaughter Kate graduated 8th grade.  What a great day.  Next Tuesday my equally wonderful Grandson Nick will graduate High School.  Unbelievable!  It was only yesterday that they were babies.  Of course I could go on and on about my four amazing grandchildren but this is a cooking blog after all.

Today I have a great summer salad that is tasty and really good for you.  A wonderful way to get in some raw veggies.

VEGGIE SALAD

2 zucchini
2 carrots
1 english cucumber
1 red pepper
zest of 1 lemon
Olive oil
Juice of 1 large lemon (put in microwave for 20 seconds to get the most juice)
Make sure the veggies are cold.

On a Mandoline, slice the veggies as thin as possible to make curls.  Gently mix with your hands.  Make a dressing of the olive oil, lemon juice and lemon zest. Toss lightly.  A great vegetable salad for hot summer days.  Try it tonight!

Thanks for stopping in today
