GARDEN-FRESH CHEF SALAD

Garden-Fresh Chef Salad image

For much of the year, I can use my garden's produce when I make this cool salad. In spring, the salad mix and radishes come from my crop. In summer, I use the tomatoes, cabbage and carrots. What a good feeling! -Evelyn Gubernath, Bucyrus, Ohio
