Notes

Loaded with flavor and crunch, this salad is sure to become part of your recipe repertoire. Don’t hesitate to add the anchovy paste. You can’t taste it, but the anchovy adds complexity to the overall flavor. Anchovy paste is sold in small tubes, usually in the same aisle as canned tomato products.
