I can't thank you enough for submitting this to the 'Stravaganza! It's a perfect salad for the summer and for keeping things in check! I love the warmness of it and the variety of ingredients.. sounds delicious! Thanks again!

I grew up with a full house and a mother who had to cook for 12 (supper and lunches for 6). So it's easier for me to cook for 8 than 2....but I have a lot of friends and good neighbours I unload the extra goodies on. Which is a good thing because I cannot stand to eat the same thing twice...... Your salad is inspiring, I should give it a try!

Tell me about those sacrifices...that's why my thighs are craving fruit desserts and low fat ice creams!
This salad is fabulous! Send it to Lisa at La Mia Cucina for her Salad Stravangaza event:

Hi! I love your blog. It is so lovely and the recipes are gorgeous. This spring salad seems perfect and I will cook it as soon as the weather in Paris will be hotter!

I so know what you mean about trying to cook for 2 - I try to cut down recipes a lot, but I usually forget to, or it is just too inconvenient (especially when you would only need half a can of something.) Luckily, if I make baked goods, I can take them to work the next day, although that doesn't always happen!!

Your salad looks perfect. I seem to always forget about salads - I don't know why, because we love them and they are easy to make for 2.

Hi Esther,

Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such complimentary comments. They are very much appreciated. I love your place here. Calming and sophisticated. And your photography is spot on.

I share so much of what you said in this post about having a lot of left-overs etc etc. I generally try not to cook everyday especially now that college is closed for summer and I don't have to go out to work.

Earlier in the week, I baked cookies for a recipe I was testing and they are still lying around the house but I have them out of sight :) I live alone but cook also for my friend Susan because as you can imagine, it is difficult to make single servings of everything! (lol)

On a day like today where it is hot but not overbearingly so, I would love to sit down to your salad. Enjoy.
