Sometimes the simple things in life are the best, like this delicious, easy salad. It is a combination of everyday ingredients and goes with everything for dinner or lunch! I love this salad with steak, chicken or seafood. My friend Ang made it for me the other day and we enjoyed it with prawns outside on her deck, it was so lovely that I had to create my own version.
It is diced quite small so it is more like a salsa and is nice on the top of meat. Or try mixing a can of tuna through it for a quick lunch.
Enjoy this yummy salad as a summer staple, I will be!
