Fresh Veggie Salad

I love making this in the summer time for picnics and BBQ's. The hubby likes to put this over grilled chicken 

serves 6 
1 red pepper 
1 green pepper 
1 yellow pepper 
1 carrot 
1 cucumber 
6 tomato 
3 garlic cloves ( chopped) or get the already chopped or minced 
3 spring onions or as most know it as scallions 
some fresh cilantro ( enough to make a few tbsp) 
Fresh dill, parsley and mint leaves ( again enough to make 2 tbsp of each) 
1 Hot chili ( if you want some heat in it , if not leave it out) chopped up 
4 tsbp EVOO 
juice from 2 lemons 
Pepper 

~ Finely dice up the first 6 ingredients and put in a large mixing bowl 
~ Then chop your garlic, scallions, and herbs. ( if you need some tips on how to cut your herbs so they have to most flavor check out FoodNetwork on knife skills) I tend to roll my leaves up and cut on a angle to give me pretty ribbon cuts 
~Then combine your veggies, garlic , herbs and pour your EVOO and lemon juice , and pepper all together and toss. 
Cover and chill in fridge before serving.
