By July, it’s usually too hot for lettuce to be happy in the garden. Fortunately, while the tomatoes might still be struggling to ripen, all the other veggies are popping out all over. It’s also often too hot to cook much, so the best way to get all those new vegetables into a happy place in your belly is to chop them up and toss with a simple dressing and devour. In Manhattan at all the fancy restaurants, they call it a chopped vegetable salad—and the truth is, that is simply what it is, and it is good. No need to complicate it.
If, God forbid, you don’t have a vegetable garden, you can make this same salad from all the wonderful things at the farmer’s market. You can even make it with stuff from the supermarket, but it won’t be quite as tasty. There is a subtle authenticity and taste of sunshine that comes from vegetables harvested and eaten immediately. Often, in small veggie gardens there isn’t quite enough of any one thing to make one full dish with it—but in a chopped veggie salad, there is room for everything and anything. And the more it looks like a rainbow of color, the better!
I am just going to list many of the potential ingredients and then my dressing recipe. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
