"This salad is a main dish meal for hot summer days since they rarely involve actually turning on a stove, all you need to do is a bit of tossing.This is for 2 but it is very easy to prepare more. Use this vinaigrette : Recipe #430024 Spinkle with slivered basil to give your salad that summery look."
