  1. This looks a really nice salad. It looks a great recipe to use as a base and swap things around too.

    As I don't like avocado, I'd have to swap that for something else; maybe tinned tuna or grilled chicken breast. I don't know if pomegranate is in season now, but pomegranate seeds sprinkled on top would be amazing.

    1. I agree. This salad would be good used as a base for other things too. I think pomegranate and grapefruit would also this salad even more refreshing.

      Glad you like it.
