This is a very impressive looking salad...great plate presentation. I recommend doubling the tomato-onion mixture as I used more than 2 tablespoon of the tomato mixture on each serving. Thank you for this tasty entree salad recipe. Made for PRMR.

I am the mother of two beautiful boys. I love to bake and cook which has helped me to become very overweight.
I have lost 50 pounds this past year and have been learning to cook "lighter". We still enjoy many of the same dishes we used to. However, I have learned portion control and how to make suttle changes to my recipes that don't affect the flavor.
