Notes
For a gluten free version use quinoa- it will need cooking as per the packet instructions then add the remaining ingredients as per the recipe above.
This salad will keep for up to 4 days if covered and refrigerated.
Salting the tomato and cucumber before adding to the salad will help get rid of any excess juice.
