I made this to add to a Gazpacho. Plated a heap (timbale) in the center of the bowl and surrounded with the soup. It was perfect with the cucumbers and parsley. Definitely a repeat.

I have made this salad several times now, and each time it gets better and better. Great to bring to potlucks, and a hit with my vegetarian friends.
