The biggest challenge in the summer months is to get food on the table with minimum time spent in the kitchen. Right? Oh and also the food should be fairly light and low on spices? Yes!!!
Well, how about this salad recipe? It is guaranteed to please in all respects. It has very few ingredients,( so you don't need to spend ages chopping and slicing like most salads).

And to add to all of this....it is a delicious and filling dish which is a complete meal.
