Fantastic salad that feaures some of my very favourite flavours. I made half a batch, but used 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice -- personal preference. Didn't have a green chilli, so subbed some red chilli flakes. Quick and easy-to-make, with a nice kick and pretty presentation. I'll make this again, perhaps as a great addition to a picnic or buffet table. Thanks for posting.1Reply
