Marinated Vegetable Toss
Description
This Marinated Vegetable Toss is a vibrant celebration of summer produce, featuring crisp cucumbers, juicy peeled tomatoes, and peppery radishes. The addition of thinly sliced red onion and fresh celery adds texture and a subtle crunch that complements the softness of the tomatoes. Unlike a standard salad, this dish relies on a brief marination period to allow the vegetables to release their natural juices, creating a light, flavorful dressing that coats every bite. It is an ideal companion to grilled meats or pasta, but stands beautifully on its own as a light lunch. The flavors are clean, fresh, and slightly tangy, making it perfect for warm-weather gatherings, picnics, or as a palate-cleansing side to heavier meals. Simple to assemble yet sophisticated in taste, this recipe highlights the natural quality of the ingredients.Ingredients
