Italian Tricolore Salad

Sackville's Note:

This is the simplest of summer salads but so healthy for you and so easy to prepare. It gets its name from the three colours on the plate -- red, green and white.

Terrific salad, SG! I did exactly what the recipe suggested, but I just diced everything and tossed it together instead. Also, I did not measure amounts of anything at ALL (it struck me as that kind of recipe.) Thanks for the recommendation and for posting this fresh and healthy salad!
