Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

VEGETABLES:3 medium Tomatoes, chopped1 medium Cucumber, chopped1 large Green Bell Pepper, chopped1/2 medium Red Onion, chopped1/2 cup fresh Parsley, choppedDRESSING:2 tbsp lemon juice1 tbsp olive oil1 tsp fresh ground pepper1 tsp salt

Directions

Place the vegetables into a medium-sized glass or plastic bowl (do not use metal, it will react to the lemon juice).

In a small bowl, mix the dressing and pour over the vegetables.

Gently toss all ingredients to coat evenly. Serve immediately. We eat this with a spoon to get every drop of juice! (Leftovers become juicy and are a little like Gazpacho without the spice... delicious!)

NOTE: Adding fresh mint or cilantro instead of the parsley is also very good! It is still good if you reduce the salt for lower sodium.

Zucchini Garlic Soup

from www.thekitchn.com:
This soup is so creamy and silky - it tastes like it's full of cream. But it doesn't have a drop of dairy.

i modified the original recipe slightly by substituting olive oil instead of butter & fresh ginger instead of powdered ginger.Submitted by: CITYGIRL666

I really like this salad and it's so easy to make! Since I don't like onions, I did pick out all the red onions. The rest of my household wanted the onions, lol. It is really good! - 6/30/10

Quick, Simple and delicious...all I ask for in a lite lunch...sprinkled a bit of fresh oregano & basil on it and was good to go! A 'keeper' in my book! - 8/2/08

Fresh and healthy way to use garden produce. Next time might substitute balsamic vinegar for lemon juice for a bit more flavor - 8/21/10

I used 1/4 cup lemon(also made with lime- just as good!) and 2 Tbls olive oil for that amount of salt and pepper. Adding fresh mint or cilantro is also very good! - 9/19/09

since I don't like fresh onion or bell pepper, I substituted mushrooms and asparagus and enjoyed every drop... put dressing on individual salad at the table so rest could be saved for next meal without going mushy - 6/5/20

I made this with two types of tomatoes so I could dump the onion and pepper. I don't like them raw. - 11/22/18

This was nice and refreshing. Definitely gets very slushy if it sits.

I made this minus the lemon juice, peppers and onion. It was really good. I added nasturtiums for garnish and peppery taste, along with basil sliced and then rough chopped. - 9/3/13

I also add boccocini fresh mozzarella balls. To cut calories for dressing, I use bottled fat free low sodium zesty italian dressing, with pepper. It tastes just as good!! 2nd pic uploaded was my version!!! - 5/15/12

Loved the recipe, but where is the 593 mg of salt coming from..Yikes... is it from the 1 tsp of salt added. I don't add any salt, just some grated garlic and it is great. I can only give it three stars because of the salt. Otherwise, it would be 5. - 8/8/11
