Chef's Note
“A light Salad for the summer, a complete meal in itself. Tasty and refreshing. I made this one time when the temperature was far too high to turn the stove/oven on...it was 42C on that day... It was delicious and made me feel full but not that awful "heavy full" that one can't bear in Summer.”
