With the weather being much warmer I find my appetite changed dramatically as well as the foods I crave. I long for fresh salads and smoothie bowls, I can’t get enough of them!
I love the Mediterranean style of food that’s simple, great for warmer climates and with all the olive oil.
With just a few simple ingredients that you probably have in the fridge and your cupboards anyway you can make this delicious salad which is perfect for picnics and BBQs.
Tomatoes this time of year are amazing and if you can get some nice ones from a grocer or from a veg box rather than the watery pathetic things sold in supermarkets.
Some good olive oil and Kalamata olives also really make the difference here. I try to get olives that aren’t in a briny jar as this recipe has enough acidity with the red wine vinegar already and they just taste better let’s be honest.
I’m having some homemade koftas with this salad for dinner as I wanted something delicious and light. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
