TOMATO ZUCCHINI SALAD – The Southern Lady Cooks

This easy tomato zucchini salad is a wonderful way to enjoy garden vegetables on a hot summer day.

Why You’ll Love This Summer Salad

This recipe can be cut in half or doubled if you’re having a large gathering.  Fresh zucchini salad is a great way to use that zucchini in the garden and I always seem to have too much of it. You can add whatever vegetables you like to this salad.  We love the bacon it goes great, but you could easily leave it out. Fresh corn and radishes would also be good. 

Best To Serve..

We find this salad is best served right away once you add the dressing. If you like, you can cut up the vegetables in advance and refrigerate them. When serving time comes just add the dressing and enjoy.
