“Printed in our local newspaper. It is imperative to use the *freshest* ingredients available. Personally I would prepare this salad only in summer when the vegetables are best quality. Note: the green onions I buy at the local farmers’ market are organic thus “mutant” size (which means in this salad I would only use about half the amount.) So, you may have to adjust the amount of green onions used in this recipe. There’s beauty in simplicity. Note: I’ve also added radishes, thinly sliced raw crook neck squash and various colors of bell peppers to the salad, as a suggestion.”

This was a very quick and light salad to make and the lime juice was the perfect accompaniment for this – I was so surprised at that ! Great little salad that I’ll definitely make again – great when you’re crunched for time. Made for ZWT8 and the Herbaceous Curvaceous Honeys.
Light and refreshing salad that is perfect for a warm summer night. I made half a batch using 200 grams each of largish heirloom cherry tomatoes and telegraph cucumber. We love lime, so I added 2 tablespoons and a sprinkling of sea salt. Beautifully complimented baked swordfish. Thanks for posting.
Great salad, easy fresh and healthy. I don’t care for onions so left them out. The lime juice is perfect with this. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I make this whenever I have Indian food. Very refreshing, although I do add a chopped green chilli to it. My spring onions are also mutant organic ones so I don’t use 10. I agree, fresh lime juice is a must. Great recipe, Cookgirl!
Great recipe made with fresh from the garden ingredients. A make again recipe for sure!
