This is my favourite salad recently and I have been making it frequently. Today I made it again. As soon as my husband saw it, he slouched to show his disappointment, and I heard him muttering ‘Again?’ Well, I think it is delicious and nutritious, it is so easy for me to make, and it is good for him to eat. He doesn’t like Beans and Peas. He likes Meat.
