Notes
Tips & Suggestions
-
- This salad pairs brilliantly with any grilled meats, seafood or chicken for a delicious meal. It is also perfect to serve bruschetta style on a piece of sourdough toast. For an easy packed lunch you could stir some tinned una or salmon through the salad also.
- It is best to try and ensure all ingredients are 'chopped' or diced to a similar size, we like to finely dice the ingredients so you get a little bit of everything in every mouthful.
- Once the salad is dressed, it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and eaten within 2-3 days.
