My friend Sam is one of the most talented chefs I know. He's got a natural instinct for flavor, and his dishes are always delicious and creative. I was lucky enough to learn about this salad a few years ago when he invited me over for dinner. I was immediately hooked, and I've been making it ever since. It's the perfect dish for a light and refreshing summer meal. It's also incredibly easy to make, which is a huge plus in my book. So if you're looking for a new salad recipe to try, I highly recommend giving this one a try.
