Spring Tossed Salad

I was glad to see spring, but its been hot and sticky here.Fresh salad sounds good on a hot day. I don't have a garden, so off to the grocery store. Bought a few things so I can toss this salad together in no time at all. It's quick and easy. This serves as a yummy side dish. Also good on its own. Makes a great lunch.

I miss my moms vegetable garden. I remember many days I was in the garden with mom, it was fun! Moms garden was huge. We lived in a small town, so we knew everyone. Often mom would have to many veggies, she would give our neighbors a bag of veggies. Then she would walk over to grandmothers house with a bag of veggies. If I had a garden, I'd grow more veggies then I needed, so I could give the extra veggies away.

Serve as a wonderful side dish to grilled chicken, roasted chicken, this would go with anything you desired. Good on its own.
