I love this salad. It's so super chunky (your mouth will not be bored) and the flavor packs serious punch. The recipe makes enough for 1 person as a meal, or 2 as a side, though it is easily doubled or tripled. Low-cal, big flavor, good protein. A win!
Double the recipe for a full meal paired with crusty bread!
Notes: Garlic-infused olive oil is Trader Joe's.

1. Make the dressing first in the bottom of a bowl: whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
