Fresh zucchini is a wonderful ingredient for a summery, vitamin-rich salad. Slice them very thinly and mix with diced cherry tomatoes. Choose vegetables in a variety of colors—yellow, green, and red—to give the salad a vibrant, summery look. Basil, mint, and a white wine vinegar dressing will infuse the vegetables with a refreshing flavor. Marinate them for half an hour to absorb the tart juices, and serve as a side dish with any dish.
