This salad recipe is a simple vegetable dish full of fresh flavour and a lovely little kick - the perfect light autumnal dish that reminds you of summer.
My wife and I shared this for our dinner and matched it with steamed rice and baked wild sea bass. It was absolutely delicious and an excellent reminder that autumnal seasonal dishes don’t always need to be heavy.
