    This salad is simple and perfection. I love having this salad anytime really especially when it’s hot and my husbands wants to barbecue. I’ll be making it again this Easter.

      I do exactly the same thing, try to think out of the box too much and sometimes forget the simple, most delicious recipes. 🙂
