I am all about easy and lightweight meals in the summer time. Ain’t nobody got time to cook! I love this recipe because you most likely already have most of this stuff in your fridge/pantry. It only requires 3 fresh vegetable ingredients, and I think you could easily sub the peppers for carrots or another veggie if you don’t have bell peppers.

When I think of French’s mustard, I think of summer barbecues and hot dogs. I love that this recipe gives me an excuse to use my mustard in something other than on an item off the grill – and it adds the perfect tang to the dressing. I will definitely be serving this salad at my next summer dinner party for a hearty & healthy option.

We ate this salad cold, but I can’t help but wonder how delicious it would be if it was heated up! If any of you try it out, let me know!
