This is one of my favorite summer salads but it can be easily made year round. It is a great salad to serve at parties, just double or triple the recipe depending on the size of your crowd. Not only is this salad delicious but it is full of protein, fiber and all things good. You can serve this on a bed of lettuce or a bed of kale! You can make a sandwich out of it using your favorite dairy-free roll or a dairy free wrap, or even stuff it into a tomato from your garden.
