Zesty Summer Salad

I love this salad! It is super easy to make, with bright summer flavors, you will find yourself wanting more.  Sometimes I feel no one wants a recipe so simple.  However, someone asked me the other day about my recipes.  They wanted to know if my cooking was approchable.  She was worried that because of my photos she would not be able to make myfood.  I reassured her that I try to make food that anyone can cook.  I want your kids to cooking in the kitchen with you.  I write recipes for people who are new cooks not just seasoned kitchen aficionados.
