Fresh Chopped Veggie Salad ( great side dish)
I love making this in the summer time for picnics and BBQ's. The hubby likes to put this over grilled chicken
serves 6
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 carrot
1 cucumber
6 tomato
3 garlic cloves ( chopped) or get the already chopped or minced
3 spring onions or as most know it as scallions
some fresh cilantro ( enough to make a few tbsp)
Fresh dill, parsley and mint leaves ( again enough to make 2 tbsp of each)
1 Hot chili ( if you want some heat in it , if not leave it out) chopped up
4 tsbp EVOO
juice from 2 lemons
Pepper
~ Finely dice up the first 6 ingredients and put in a large mixing bowl
~ Then chop your garlic, scallions, and herbs. ( if you need some tips on how to cut your herbs so they have to most flavor check out FoodNetwork on knife skills) I tend to roll my leaves up and cut on a angle to give me pretty ribbon cuts
~Then combine your veggies, garlic , herbs and pour your EVOO and lemon juice , and pepper all together and toss.
Cover and chill in fridge before serving.

You know what would be amazing, I just discovered Meyer lemons, thin skin that is edible and sweeter than regular lemons. Dice one Meyer lemon and put the whole thing in the salad.0 -

I use lemon rind in alot of recipes0
