Vegetable Box Salad





Yields
Makes 12 cups; about 4 main-dish servings

Heather Ogston composed this bountiful fresh chopped salad after receiving a box of beautiful summer produce from a community farm. Chop the vegetables into pieces that are roughly the same size — between 1/4- and 1/2-inch pieces.
