This salad is light and flavorful and chock full of veggies that you can pull from your garden - tomatoes, cucumbers, and green onions. Add lots of parsley and mint and a nice splash of olive oil and lemon juice and that 's it. Chill before serving to bring out the flavors. Serves eight.

This light salad of Lebanese origin is a big favorite. Crunchy fried pita chips add delightful taste and texture. And a lemon and white wine vinegar dressing makes a snappy, light lunch or dinner.
