This was quite good made from winter produce. But I just know that this will be AMAZING with fresh summer produce out of our garden. It would be wonderful with any kind of meat and my husband wants to try it on top of a burger. Thanks Geema!

I tried this two ways. With and without bell pepper (i used red) we preferred it without which I would give five stars to. We like to mix this into our rice dishes. I use English cucumber, flat leaf parsley, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste, plus the rest of the ingredients. Maybe I will try it again with green pepper or we will have it without the bell pepper at all. Made for "I've saved all these recipes!" March Diabetic Tag.

This was a very refreshing delicious salad. The only thing I did different was to make it with orange bell peppers and not green (preference only). Also I cut the salad in half because we were only 2. The flavour was sooo good... and bonus because it was so fast to put together. Made it in the morning and brought it to work for lunch. Thanks so much for sharing Geema, will definitely be making this again. Yummy stuff.
