This is an easy salad to fix with all fresh and organic produce. It can also be made with fresh seared tuna. When adding balsamic vinegar to tuna it gives it a splendid new sweet flavor! I like this variety of veggies, because they are full of textures and color. It's a very healthy and delicious salad for the entire family to enjoy. Serve with thick crusty Italian bread.
