my contributions are in parentheses

serves 4

- 1 orange
- 1 sweet red pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 cup sugar snap peas, cut in half
- 1 cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks   (English cucumber, unpeeled)
- 8 fresh basil leaves, sliced   (haven't used these yet)
- 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar  
     (rice vinegar is milder than ordinary white vinegar;
      'seasoned' means sugar and salt have been added;
      you can buy it prepared or make your own - I like this: 1/2 c vinegar, 4 tsp brown sugar, 1/4 tsp salt)
- cracked black pepper, to taste   (I'm allergic to fresh black pepper so this is optional)

- Peel the orange and cut the peeled fruit into bite-sized chunks.  
- In a medium bowl, mix together the orange, red pepper, sugar snap peas, cuccumber and basil.
- Sprinkle with rice vinegar and season with pepper.
- Toss and serve.

We plan to try with the following additional ingredients:
  1 cup frozen corn (thawed)
  1/2 cup sliced water chestnuts
  1 cup young green string beans cut into 1 inch pieces - or 1/2 c green beans + 1/2 c sugar snap peas
