My friends Lydia and Chris are my favorite vegetarian couple and they always make the yummiest vegetarian dishes ever! They brought a dish like this to a party we went to and immediately I fell in love! Super simple fresh ingredients tossed together in a light balsamic vinaigrette. So refreshing for the summer!
I like making my own vinaigrette for two reasons: 1. You know exactly what's going in it and 2. you can adjust it to your taste. Some times I find store bought just a little too tangy or a little too sweet, never to my liking.
Toss and serve!
