I made this salad tonight as a side to dinner. I loved it! I used fresh cukes and tomatoes from my garden. I easily halved all of the ingredients to serve DH and myself. I assumed that the recipe wanted 12 oz of cherry tomatoes, so when I halved the recipe, I used 6 oz. I subbed shallots for red onion as I realized I didn't have any red onions after I started making the dish. I let the salad marinate for 2 hours prior to serving. DH commented that he does not usually like raw bell peppers, but this recipe was an exception. The dressing flavor was fantastic! I would definitely make this again. Thanks!

This was a wonderful variation of a Greek salad. I made this with the season's first tomatoes and cucumbers. mmmmm so yummy! I liked the dressing on this - a little different since it used dijon mustard and basil, rosemary, and thyme instead of oregano. I did use a little bit more of the herbs when I prepared the dressing and black pepper rather than cayenne. Thanks kcduffster!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I moved from Ohio to the West Coast about 4 years ago and I currently work as an assistant at an intellectual property law firm in Silicon Valley.
I love to cook and experiment in the kitchen. I'm not much of baker, though, since I hate to measure my ingredients. Like most everyone else these days, I am always on the lookout for low-calorie recipes. I recently married and I try to cook dinner for my husband and I at least 6 times a week, which he heartily supports.
When I'm not cooking or browsing through cookbooks from the library or second-hand store, I can usually be found knitting something, playing video games with DH, or just watching tv. I also love exploring the great outdoors, whether it be hiking, kayaking, biking, or just doing a little sightseeing around town. I am finishing up a paralegal certificate at the community college and am now considering preparation for law school. The crockpot recipes here definitely helped us stay fed while I was taking night classes!
