If you're back at work, then vibrant veges may be just what you need to help ease the transition from jandals to shoes. If you're still on holiday, these salads make a great lazy lunch, especially if you've got freshly caught fish, or a barbecue, close by. Either way, as the rest of summer stretches before us, I'm all about salads. This can be made vegan without the parmesan.
