I love this dish. The various shades of colour make you stop to check what’s in there: heirloom carrots, cucumber, jicama, basil, baby kale, pickled red onion, red and green sweet pepper. It is the perfect spring and summer dish. Serve with Sable & Rosenfeld Red Pepper Thai Bruschetta crusted chicken breast or your favourite grilled fish.”
