Quick & Easy Veggie Salad

by Myra Hope

Okay, I’ll confess. I haven’t told y’all, but I’m on a diet. I’m so not a diet kinda person, but I’ve got to shed the remaining, stubborn baby weight that refuses to leave my body. So I’m doing it. I’ll share more about what diet I’m doing and how it’s worked for me when I’m a little closer to my goal weight.

Anyway, I’ve been eating a lot of this quick and easy veggie salad. It’s incredibly healthy and absolutely delish!

Quick & Easy Veggie Salad

  • Fresh Tomatoes, sliced
  • Sweet Onion, sliced
  • Cucumbers, sliced
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • Sea Salt to taste
  • Garlic Powder, a dash or two

Gently toss veggies with sea salt and garlic to suit your taste.  I’m rather generous when I “dash and sprinkle.” Ha!  Add balsamic vinegar and toss again. Serve immediately.

Enjoy the crisp crunchiness . . . and the healthy addition to your meal!

What’s your favorite summer salad??

Yum! My grandma used to make something similar to this with redwine vinegar and olive oil. Can’t wait for the fresh veggies of summer! Good luck on your diet and I can’t wait to hear what you are doing. I need to lose more than a little baby weight. :)

P.S. I already think you look fabulous!

So easy and so delicious!
I rarely buy cucumbers because I’m the only one who eats them, but I think that’s gonna change. :)

I want to lose stubborn baby weight… errr… post baby weight…. too. Maybe I’ll start…. tomorrow. :)

YUM! This sounds scrumptious! I bet this would be divine with all the fresh garden veggies, too!

Hang in there…make everything you eat count toward your goal! My favorite salad is fresh spinach, sliced strawberries and chopped walnuts with a splash of balsamic viniagrette. Fruitty and nutty!

Did you know that’s a “regular” salad on lunch servings here in Guatemala? One can come across the ingredients every day, all year long, and because it is so easy (we use lemon juice, salt and pepper instead of balsamic vinegar; you should try it! it’s equally delicious, and ever healthier!) it is a must and a common thing on daily lunches. Good luck on the diet journey! Drinks lots of water; that will help you as well.
have a great day!

This is one of my favorite salads! I also love to add a little “real” mozzarella. Like the soft kind that is packed in water. I lived in Sicily, so I am a little spoiled.
