This salad makes an excellent lunch or side dish to go with dinner. To bulk it up with protein, I suggest adding avocado, sweet potato or garbanzo beans. It can be enjoyed warm or cold and can be preserved in the refrigerator for a few days. The cook time is less than 30 minutes and while the original recipe says it feeds 4, I found that it fed 2 hungry people. So feel free to double or triple the recipe if you're sharing it with friends or family.
