This is a super simple side salad that goes well with almost any meal, but don’t be deceived by its simplicity, because what it lacks for in complexity, it makes up in taste! In my opinion, what makes a salad taste good is not only the dressing (although this one is fab!) but the quality and freshness of the ingredients in the salad. It can be simple but delicious if you pick the ingredients straight out of your garden and then drizzle a beautiful vinaigrette over the top. Simple, but delicious.
