Stir Fried Summer Vegetables

The weather has been great lately and the super market is filled with all the colors of summer vegetables and fruits. I think every body should enjoy all the flavors and colors of summers...Bounty of nature

Today I made a simple stir fry with the colorful vegetables of summer and a very simple sauce to simmer them in. It was great. I served with shallow fried Salmon patty from Costco.
