I love this salad. It has been around in my family for at least one generation. (That would be mine!) We used to make it a lot when I had thousands of children and their friends on weekends. Yes, they ate this with relish. It is amazing.
SO char up some veggies, get the pesto on and you are done mum. You could of course serve is as an actual salad instead of a great lunch or easy dinner by adding some BBQed meat or roasted chook of choice! YUMMERS.
