Sam's SuperEasy Summer Salad

Super cold, super crisp, and super easy to make. What more can you ask for a summer dish?

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg of cherry tomatoes (I use the Santa Sweets, you can use yours from the garden if you have one)
• 2 cucumbers (med)
• 1 can of black olives
• 1/2 red pepper
• 1/2 yellow pepper
• 1/2 orange pepper
• Rice noodles cooked how you like and however many you want and however fat you want them
• Dressing - I'm experimenting so you'll have to fill in the blank here for your preference

Chop up peppers to the size bites you like.

Chop up cukes into whatever bitesize you like.

Dump tomatoes and olives in bowl with pprs and cukes.

Mix with hands.

Add cooked rice noodles, mix with hands again.

Or if you are sensory-defensive, mix with kitchen implement of choice.

Add dressing to the amount to "just" cover the veggies. Add more if you are dressing fiend.

So far I've tried a Tuscany Italian Dressing, a FatFree Balsamic Vinaigrette, and a Vidalia Onion Dressing (actually mixed the last two together as well). I haven't found quite what I'm looking for but the Balsamic Vinaigrette is close. Just close. I'll know it when I taste it tho it may mean some more close but no cigars. Oh well, at least it makes my work lunches easy to make coz the big bowl lasts a almost a whole week.

FYI, if you want to double the salad, use the whole pprs and add another pkg of cherry tomatoes, two more cukes, and another can of olives and Viola - two big ass bowls of salad!
