This was really good! My hubby & youngest son loved it too. We had it as a side to some salt & pepper squid, and it made a great light, refreshing sidedish. I didn't peel the tomatoes as I was pressed for time, but it didn't seem to matter at all. I will definately be making this on a regular basis. I would like to try it with some fresh chilli chopped into it. [Made for PRMR]
