Recipe description
This is a simple, vibrant salad that showcases healthy, fresh ingredients. I firmly believe that ones cooking skills are not as important as the quality of the ingredients used. All elements are widely available and inexpensive. This dish uses ingredients that would not alienate children and can be eaten with a fork. The salad elements can all be prepared ahead of time with the dressing tossed through at the last moment.
Variations
This dish has a carbohydrate component and can be enjoyed on its own or with a flavoured protein – this could be roast chicken or ham for example.
