When summer comes I love having this salad- it’s so crisp, so fresh and so summery. I remember first time I tried it was years ago- I found it in Nigella’s book with summer recipes and loved it. Over the years I experimented a bit adding different herbs and vinagrettes. I love it with mint, cilantro/coriander and with lemon verbena. Sometimes I have it just with lime juice mixed with olive but my favourite is with thick plum vinegar mixed with lime juice.
