Ummm...YUM!!This is one of those simple salads that just screams delish to me. I replaced the corriander with parsley (personal pref) and doubled the chilli. We scooped ours onto toasted Greek flat bread and ate it as a snack. Served on a bed of shredded letuce and cubed tomatoes makes a great lunch. Add cubed tomatoes and cucumber for another taste variation. A very refreshing salad, thanks for sharing!!
