    End of Summer Salad

    September 26, 2016

    Although the calendar indicates it is the end of summer, Mother Nature in South Carolina is not paying attention. Yesterday it was 92º and today it will be the same, nevertheless, most farmers’ markets are closing down or will be in the next two weeks.  This end of summer celebration, because I hate the hot weather, was perfect for dinner, after finishing up a hot summer day.  Light, refreshing and colorful, if you are a vegetable fan, you will love this easy to prepare salad.  Because the vinaigrette is so prominent in this recipe, using good, fresh ingredients is important and will make a difference.  Keep in mind, the vinaigrette…
