    2 Tbs. Cider vinegar
    1/2 tsp. Salt (or to taste)

This is a traditional Tuscan summertime salad. Fresh and filling, a couple of servings can be a meal in itself.

    Very Good
    I made this last night except I added olives, red onions (guessing this may be the same as purple onion?), skipped the water and added grilled salmon on top. I also used red wine vinegar instead of cider vinegar. - 8/24/10
