One of my favorite salads is a flavorful, refreshing combination that makes a great light lunch or even dinner, with a slice of Tuscan bread, during the dog days of Summer. The fruity/salty mix and crisp greens makes for a very different taste sensation which seems to hit all the right notes in the warm weather. Try it with an ice cold lime rickey as your beverage.
