Summer Delight Salad

I JUST named it that-- not sure if there is a real name or not. (Sorry about the picture--I guess I should have transferred the salad into a bowl that I hadn't stirred it in, if I was going to publish it! :) ) I had it at someone's 4th of July BBQ and asked for the recipe and it's just something they make a lot, and didn't have a "recipe". It's not anything super unusual, but just tastes really yummy and fresh. So here is the recipe!!
* Cucumber
* Tomatoes (grape or small on the vine ones with more flavor work best)
* Avacado
* Red onion
* feta cheese
* dash of olive oil
* dash of red wine vinegar

Cut the veggies into large chunks, add cheese and oil, and vinegar and stir!! When I made it yesterday I used one cucumber, one avacado, 6 or seven small tomoatoes, and 1/3 of a large red onion.
Give it a try!!

A Good, Always Popular Salad

Summer Salad

1-2 heads iceberg lettuc

1 bunch red leaf lettuce

1 red onion sliced (soak in water overnight)

1 lb. fried bacon cooked and crumbled

8 oz. fresh mushrooms sliced

2 cups cottage cheese

1 lb. Swiss cheese

Dressing:

2/3 cup vinegar

1 1/4 cup sugar

2 tsp. dried mustard

1-2 green onions chopped

1-2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. poppy seeds

1 cup salad oil

stir until sugar is dissolved

This salad goes soggy very quickly, so don't mix it together until ready to serve. I have also seen many variations of this salad with slivered almonds, oranges, chicken, etc...
