I'm currently nursing DS, and due to a super sensitive stomach (combined with multiple allergies) I'm allowed to have the following vegetables only:
cucumbers
zucchini
tomatoes
carrots
onions
Any salad ideas that incorporate these???????
Thanks so much!

Cranberry- would it be possible for you to post these recipes?
Thanks!

Cucumber Salad:
3-4 cucumbers
1 Tbsp salt
1 medium onion
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/2 Tbsp sugar
dash pepper

Slice cucumbers and onions thinly. Put in bowl. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well. Refrigerate several hours before serving.

I usually use a different recipe that's very similar, but I can't find that one right now.

Marinated tomatoes:
6-8 tomatoes
1/2 cup oil
1/3 cup wine vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dry mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 Tbsp minced onion
parsley (optional)

(variation: use basil in place or oregano and omit the mustard.)

Slice tomatoes crosswise and arrange in deep dish or bowl. Mix remaining ingredients well. Pour over tomatoes and let marinate, covered, in refrigerator overnight.

For zucchini slaw, I don't have a recipe, but shoemaker's looks good.
