Stunning salad. Loved the anchovies used here and the dressing is light and garlicky, yum. Couldn't think of a thing I would change.

This was so easy and delicious! I have to say that I am a fan of anchovies and that's what drew me to this salad. The combination was perfect. Thanks for posting this.
