A simple, healthy salad, tasty and easy to put together. It looks rather good too, though I might add a splash of something orange next time to enhance the effect (tangerine?). A few seeds or walnuts might also work well. I often serve this with chicken thighs marinated in fresh lemon juice and herbs. Lamb would be amazing with this too. This will certainly be the star of future family BBQ’s!
