Cool Summer Veggie Salad Recipes

This is my favorite summer salad to take to picnics and makes the best of summer-time vegetables. Add chopped grilled chicken and take it from a hearty salad into an entree.

With the weather getting way too hot in Texas, the search is on to find food that goes great with BBQ and light enough not to weigh you down in the heat. I had this recipe on my phone for quite some time and I'm not sure where it came from, but boy was it a hit!

I actually got this recipe from a friend who is Indian. She said it's a modified traditional Indian salad, but I make it all the time. It's citrusy and cool and great as a picnic dish or an appetizer alternative to regular salad.
