There is an expression about salads, “It’s all about the dressing.” Well, I kinda’ got to agree with this. Without a salad dressing what do you have really? A bunch of ingredients swilling around a bowl with no connection to each other.

Anyway, you add the dressing and a little kind of magic happens. That’s how it went for this super simple yet delicious salad. It was all down to the Lemon Vinaigrette. Supposed to be lime, but I didn’t have those. The lemon filled in perfectly and the dressing salad combo was the tastiest I’ve had in a while. Time to get your salad on!

This salad is so simple yet so flavoursome. It probably wouldn’t have made our picnic table growing up, and I doubt my 10 year old self would have eaten it anyway. Flash forward a whole bunch of decades and I am willing to try just about anything in a salad. Just about. This is a simple combo with great flavours. Put together in 10 minutes and downright summer worthy!
