    Here�s a light, refreshing salad that boasts the rich flavor of artichokes, olives and summer-ripe tomatoes. From Clara Coulston of Washington Court House, Ohio, this makes a nutritious side dish with all kinds of entrees.

    Ingredients:
    � 1/4 cup lemon juice
    � 1/4 cup chopped seeded peeled cucumber
    � 2 tablespoons fat-free plain yogurt
    � 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

    � 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
    � 1/2 cup julienned silken firm tofu
    � 1/2 cup chopped red onion

    Directions:
    1. For dressing, in a blender or food processor, combine the lemon juice, cucumber, yogurt, oregano, salt and pepper; cover and process until blended.

    2. In a bowl, combine the artichokes, olives, tomatoes, tofu and onion. Add dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
