Katie's Warm Salad
This is very loosely based on a side dish I had at a modern Italian restaurant here in Johannesburg. I only ever attempted to make this the other night when I couldn't think of a creative side to a salmon dish (Katie's Salmon & Salsa) I was making. I couldn't believe when it turned out perfectly. So I made a mental note of what I had done just so I could share it on BigOven!
