Method

Ingredients

1. In a large salad bowl, combine all the ingredients for the salad and mix well.

2. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice and toss with the salad. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook’s notes: Use any leftover veg from the fridge. For a creamier salad, add a spoon of mustard mayonnaise to the dressing. If you have guests coming over, let everyone dress their own salad so that the vegetables are fresher and crisper.
