    Summer Salad.  Summer is here, and we have all of this beautiful produce to create amazing salads with....so many choices to toss into your bowl!  I especially love to make salads with vegetables or herbs that I have grown myself.  .  As a result, I have a beautiful and colorful healthy salad.

    Ingredients For Summer Salad

    For this recipe, I used cucumber, red pepper, carrots, purple cabbage, cilantro, tangerines and green onions.  If you have other vegetables that you love, toss them in as well.  To give this salad more substance, we added rice noodles to the vegetables and fruits.

    The rice noodles are typically served hot in Pad Thai or other cooked dishes.  I found that the rice noodles were a good addition and even though they added carbs, the salad was light, but still filling. The rice noodles  take on the flavor of the surrounding vegetables or dressing to give you a filling and satisfying dish.

    The cilantro dressing  was perfect for a flavor compliment for the vegetables and I suggest adding it on the side to allow everyone to decide how much dressing the prefer.

    This recipe is vegan, gluten free, and dairy free and so simple that it is ready in less than 30 minutes.  Perfect for all the eaters at your table.
