Fall is quickly coming upon us. This morning as I was driving to the store, I noticed some of the leaves in our neighbourhood are at the dawn of changing over to the colours of autumn. With that said, there is still some time to squeeze in a couple more salads inspired by summer. We had some lovely friends over the other day for a BBQ and served this salad as one of our side dishes. It went over well with kids and adults too. Enjoy!
