Garden Gazpacho Salad

I'm ready for warm weather! This is a tasty, crunchy salad, not too fussy, with ingredients most people generally have on-hand. I also like it because it's not too "oily". It's absolutely wonderful and refreshing with veggies straight from the garden! Prep time includes letting salad flavors "blend" in the fridge.
