Standard Croatian Mixed Salad

Submitted by nitko

"This is usual mixed summer salad you can get almost in every Croatian household or restaurant. The importance is in wine vinegar (not aceto balsamico), and it must be cooled. I do not know the reason, but vinegar does not make you thirsty during hot summer days, so it is very important ingredient."

This is a wonderfully simple fresh and light salad. It can be whipped together in minutes and goes with pretty much any main dish. I made this exactly as written. Thanx for sharing!

This was a very nice refreshing and colorful salad. I used red wine vinegar. I didn't add the full suggested amount of onion, but added just enough to really pick up the flavor. Thanks for sharing the recipe, nitko.
