There's nothing really the matter with this dish - it's simple to prepare, cool for a summer day, the ingredients are all tasty, and it's quite nutritious, especially with a whole grain bread. But somehow it doesn't work together. It's just a bunch of ingredients in a bowl. -
This is nice. I like all the ingredients, so expected to be wild about it. I think it's missing something to unite all the flavors. Maybe a different dressing. Thank you for the experience, it was interesting.

I live in a beautiful rural area, and I get lots of backyard visitors, including deer, coyotes, bears, raccoons, and skunks. I'm basically a homebody, and I enjoy reading, writing, surfing the net, working out, studying the Bible, taking scenic photos, and of course, cooking.
