Costanzo's Marinade Salad

I was first introduced to this summer marinade salad at our friend's house nearly a year ago. Since then I've made it a few times and love it every time! It is a salad that can easily be thrown together with whatever fresh vegetables are around the house.

Here is what the salad looks like; recipe is below the picture...
