This gorgeous salad transports me to the charming Tuscan port town of Santo Stefano, where I sampled this Mediterranean salad for the first time. I like to add cannellini beans and tuna if I am serving this as a main course. Either way, it is a crisp and glorious salad to enjoy year-round. Have a glass of Poggio Grande Syrah with this delectable salad.
