Do you actually want to take a beautiful crisp summer dish
and soak it in a mixture of fat, sugar, salt and chemicals? If you start off with great food and don’t do too more to it you don’t need all these strong tastes as you still have great food.
All you need is to combine it well so that the flavors activity together, have a good firm texture and add a little light dressing to set it all off, and let the taste buds do the rest Freshness is, as in all cooking, the way to a good salad. Don’t take what the supermarkets give you. Tho'
it’s easier to pick up the available packed tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, bell peppers etc.
