A bowl of awesomeness, this salad is perfect for bringing you the refreshing feeling after being in the hot summer heat all day it’s become a favourite of mine after my boyfriend’s mom made it at one of our family suppers. Every bite you take is truly full of goodness so I thought I would share it since we all know sharing is caring. It’s super easy to make and definitely something healthy and quick to whip up on those hectic days or when you have run out of ideas this salad is for you. Also this salad is even better the next day left to marinate in the fridge.
