This is so simple to make, and really tasty. You can do the prep beforehand and just put it all together when you need it, making this dish perfect for a mid week supper or if you’re having friends over. The recipe is perfect for 2 people but can easily be scaled up as needed. My husband isn’t a big ‘salad’ fan but really enjoyed this dish, will definitely be making it again.
