Summer Harvest Salad

I know it’s almost the end of the season and you’re probably looking for pumpkins already, but that won’t stop me from sharing my favorite summer harvest salad.

To be fair, it is my favorite, because it’s the salad I make 3-4 times a week, probably even daily, since it’s what we make with the vegetables we grow. So, I have no choice but to make it a favorite. Plus it tastes good and is perfect with fish, meat, bread, falafels, I even served it in my Mediterranean fish wraps!

We’ve got zucchini in there, roasted and raw peppers, arugula, basil, onion and of course – tomatoes! You can also throw in a cucumber or two, but my plants haven’t been very successful this year. I can’t figure out what it is, but I’m very stingy with the cucumbers, since we rarely have some. Here’s the recipe, feel free to change things according to your harvest!
