I want to share with you my recipe for what could be, the easiest salad in the world, not to mention the most colourful. This recipe is perfect for busy evenings or weekends when you want something healthy on the table but don’t have a lot of time or energy.
At the end of the summer when fresh tomatoes are everywhere and neighbours are handing out juicy red ones from their gardens, this is a go-to recipe and all you need is a few simple ingredients.
I think I might be stretching it by even calling it a recipe 🙂
