Lovely simple, tasty side salad Just right served with Creole Halibut & spinacj with mushrooms. I apologize for using black olives but I had a juar open so it was a matter of supply & demand. We enjoyed your salad very much

This is a great salad to serve when you don't want to heat the kitchen. It's easy, and fast. The ingredients are healthy and compliment each other. We especially liked the cayenne kick. I added some shredded fresh basil, and thinly sliced purple onion. You could even substitue an avocado for the tomatoes if you wanted to make this refreshing salad in the winter, when good tomatoes are scarce. Definately a keeper. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
