Sometimes I'm honestly at a loss when trying to figure out what to serve to accompany my main courses. I tire easily of the potato, rice, couscous thing and am always looking for a way to get some more veggies into all of us. We eat really well but there are times (like last night) when we get home late and everyone is famished and I have no time to prepare anything. This is super quick and uses up some fridge and pantry staples. Feel free to substitute your favourite vegetables or whatever you may have lying around! I tend to eyeball the dressing and go with the less is more attitude for this salad, especially when using ripe tomatoes.
