This salad is beautiful to look at but for my family's taste the dressing needs some adjustment. I made the full amount exactly as written but only ended up using half of it and I could have done with using even less. We also thought that there was too much oil in the dressing. I plan to try this again with adjustments. Thanks for letting me try.

This is an excellent way to use those summer veggies from the garden.

THANK YOU, Marilyn! I got on this website with the intent of looking for a tomato salad recipe like they make at Woolgrowers. I didn't expect to find the actual recipe! It is as good as I remembered.

What an excellent, beautiful little salad! I served it over arugula and used shallot (instead of onion) and fresh herbs. I also reduced the dressing by 1/3 (but kept the herbs the same), which was just right. The herbs and shallot gave it so much flavor, and the arugula complemented it wonderfully. This was perfect with chianti and Artichoke and Spinach Lasagna, also from this site.

Wonderful salad that really puts garden fresh veggies to good use. It makes a great presentation, looks way harder than it is, and the dressing is great for any salad.

This smelled great, looked beautiful, and tasted fantastic. The sweetness of the peppers and the acid of the vinegar were balanced beautifully. This is a keeper.

I've also had this salad at Chateau Basque on Union many moons ago. I remember my parents taking me to the Woolgrowers in the 60's. We all ate at long tables family style. My favorite was the lamb meatballs. Thank you for reviving good memories.

Had to try this recipe since I live here in Bakersfield. Made it for a group of people when we had a Basque soup night. It was fantastic. I am not a vinegar person but it was great.

Very good and fairly versatile with veggies you have on hand. I always keep a jar of the sauce in the fridge for quick prep.

Wonderful salad! I cut the oil in half, doubled the cucumbers and tomatoes, and used red onion instead of the white. When it was all done, it was very colorful. I took it to a summer dinner party and it was a hit.
