This summery chopped salad will be the perfect addition to any summer BBQ! Although, if I’m being honest, I eat this salad all year round.

A salad without lettuce is sometimes a fun way to change things up. It also stays well in the fridge as leftovers.

This salad can be jazzed up with some other fun ingredients such as:

• sweet corn
• olives
• capers
• other herbs
• some animal protein like chicken or fish to make it a full meal

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
