Simple & Delicious is all that needs to be
said about this amazingly fresh and Earthy salad. This can be a meal in itself
or can be situated lovely alongside a piece of fresh baked chicken, sautéed fish
or of course a Grilled Steak.
For those of you who want a vegetarian meal,
omit the Mozzarella and another ingredient such as sliced Dried Figs or Sliced
Pears they pair with this salad perfectly.
Enjoy!
