Tomato and Onion Salad Recipe

With Summer winding down and headed into fall, you will probably find yourself with an abundance of garden vegetables. Browsing around, I came across this gem and thought you might like to add it to your weekly cooking rotation. While this recipe is for tomato and onion, you can substitute any fresh garden vegetable that you like. How about zucchini and summer squash, or egg plant and red sweet peppers? Perhaps you want to try this recipe as is, or make it your own. Either way, it is always better in taste and for you, when you use only organically grown fruits and vegetables.
