About


Serve this salad over grilled flank steak or chicken breast for a refreshing summer dinner. Also perfect all by itself!
Note: I never measure ingredients when I make this salad, but offer best-guess measurements here as a guideline. You should experiment with the ingredients to find the amounts appropriate for your own taste buds.
