This salad is a staple in many Paris restaurants, which is where I picked it up. I’ve made a few changes to the ingredients, and the amounts; however, it remains faithful to the Paris version of the recipe. If you are looking for a light side dish for a lazy Summer’s day... Look no further. FYI: This is a great topping for fish or a thinly sliced turkey sandwich. Yummy So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

Step 6

Toss to combine... I usually use my hands, but that's up to you.
