CRUNCHY LEMON-PESTO GARDEN SALAD



Crunchy Lemon-Pesto Garden Salad image

I love using vegetables straight from the garden in preparing this salad. If I pick the squash and cucumbers early enough, their skins are so tender that there's no need to remove them! Best of all, it's easily adaptable-any fresh veggie from the garden can be swapped in with delicious results! -Carmell Childs, Clawson, Utah
