    Zucchini and Tomato Salad

    January 10, 2011 by Kankana Saxena

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Since morning, I have been cooking for a get together. Our home is filled with a wonderful aroma and I am absolutely loving it. We are having some friends over for lunch and I wanted to make sure everything is perfect. My friends tell me that at times, I turn into 'Monica' of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. although I would prefer to be Rachel 😉

    Now, you got have to have some salad as part of the meal. I didn't gave much thought to it earlier or else, I wouldn't have forgotten to get some carrots and lettuce. So, here comes my most simple zucchini and tomato salad tossed in a simple dressing!

    I'm linking this up with the Hearth 'n' Soul Blog Hop.
