Delicious Diners Salad
Anne writes: "This salad is a wonderful side dish with a meal. There was a very famous diner in Newark, NJ., called the Weequahic diner. Later on they moved to Verona, NJ and was called the Claremont diner. I remember going there and always finding a bowl of this delicious salad on the table. It is really worth making, you'll get compliments galore."

2 carrots, sliced into disks about 1/4-inch thick
2 green peppers, cut into bite-size pieces
2 cucumbers, peeled and sliced
2 large vidalia onions, sliced (If vidalia onions are not available, use regular ones.)
