I made this fresh tasting sandwich today for lunch. It required a bit of prep, but I was very pleased with the end result. The salad is flavorful and healthy. I used cherry tomatoes and fresh parsley from my garden. I added a bit more salt and pepper to the finished salad, on top of what I had already added to the dressing. I did not alter this recipe at all and felt that it needed no modifications. I would make this again. Thanks!

I prepared this omitting the radishes and green bell pepper due to personal preferences. I had baby cucumbers on hand and didn't peel or seed. This was a very fresh and light option for lunch.
