I love salads that are so filling and full of flavor that they can be the whole meal. This is particularly true in summer, when the warm weather demands easy meals that don’t require turning on the oven. I took one of my favorite salads and chopped all the ingredients finely for a delicious and easy meal. Enjoy al fresco with a glass of white wine on a warm summer evening.
