Recipe from "Everyday Italian". I made this recipe with only cherry tomatoes and just tossed everything together with the dressing. Easy and good.

This is a fresh and tasty salad. I have to say I prefer balsamic vinegar in this type of salade to the lemon juice but it's a nice alternative. Made for PAC 2013 Spring SafariReply
