Wanted a light dinner tonight and this fit the bill. I did double it due there are 4 of us. Could not be any easier. A keeper here, as this has more than one uses, appetizer, salad, or light dinner. Another keeper from Syd. Made for PRMR tag.

Very good! It really is a nice combination. I was interested in how the strawberries fit in, but I see it does without any problems. Which is fine with me, because I love strawberries :)

This is quick easy and so refreshing for a hot summers day. I just bought a BBQ chook from the store and pulled the meat off. I also added some goats cheese balls and avocado to the salad apart from that I followed everything else as written . It was so delicious and was thoroughly enjoyed by myself and son. We love our salads and this was a perfect one for us. Cheers Sydney for a very light and delicious salad. :)
