I believe I shall call it "Summer's End Salad". What do you think?
It is very simple and, therein, lies the beauty.

the weather here has been too grisly for salad but I can appreciate how good this one must taste.. lucky you !
Hi Elise and welcome to my blog! I usually end up doing all my veggie salads in a similar manner changing the herb component. I use fresh dill a lot, during the summer, with my cukes. I like cilantro when I make a salad of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and hot peppers. This was really a great year for this 1st time gardener.
Looks and sounds tasty!!!
Beautiful, the salad and the name :)
Looks delicious and healthy, and I love the colors!
i think it looks delicious! thanks for stopping by the crib! your career as a RT must have prepared you for the grossness of motherhood! btw, nothing grosses me out unless it is about eyeballs - it's my achilles heel
Yum...I want to come over. Love that kind of salad. I can only grow children. We hardly even have flowers in the yard...because I know I would kill them. My 6 year old can hardly wipe his rear, but is amazing at taking care of flowers. LOL Glad I stopped by. Holly at lifelaughlatte.blogspot.com
Pretty salad. Sometimes simple is best, isn't it? (That's what I keep trying to tell the kiddos- to no avail.)
btw, I totally agree with your David L. comment on my blog.
Oh how I wish I had room in my yard for a garden! This looks fabulous!

That must have been positively delicious. Fresh basil is so wonderful!

Gorgeous salad! I envy your harvest! I didn't get one tomato, bean, pepper or anything else from my garden this year. The weather, the rabbits and the squirrels took care of everything except the herbs. Maybe next year....
