This kind of food makes me so happy- colourful, healthy, fresh and straight from the farm to my bowl! After picking up a beautiful assortment of veggies from a local farmer's market earlier in the week I couldn't wait to enjoy them in their purest form. This salad could not be easier to make. I simply chopped up the vegetables and added diced avocado for richness, walnuts for texture and a splash of olive oil and lemon juice to tie it all together. I loved it on its own, but Paul threw the mixture on some bread for a hearty sandwich and tonight I'm tossing it with quinoa for a yummy dinner. Ahh veggies, so versatile!
Fresh farmer's market salad
Serves 4
1 orange bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
4 mini cucumbers, chopped
2 tomatoes, seeds removed and chopped
4 green onions, sliced
1 avocado, diced
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
juice of 1/2 lemon
drizzle of olive oil
sea salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste
In a large bowl, toss all of the ingredients together and add the olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt and pepper. Couldn't be easier, right?

P.S. Tomorrow I'm off to Toronto Island for a picnic with friends, do you have any must-try recipe suggestions?
Sounds so refreshing. I'm going to have to make this this weekend. I've never tried the olive oil and lemon juice before.
