Delicious Deconstructed Salad

The peak of summer produce is here! I am overwhelmed with delicious goodies that are popping up in my garden. Today is a hot day, perfect for a delicious salad. This salad is almost 100% garden grown. I decided to keep the salad deconstructed to it's elements so each vegetable can be seen for its entire beauty. The simplicity of the salad adds to its elegance and appeal. The best part of this salad is that you can customize it to incorporate elements from your garden. Add summer squash, fresh cucumbers, peas, beans, whatever you want!
