4 plum tomatoes quartered, or 1 tomato sliced into eighths |
|
• |
1/2 bunch of broccoli, chopped into bite sized flowerets |
|
• |
1/4 red pepper sliced |
|
• |
1/4 onion (red or white, sweet or not) |
|
• |
1/4 cup cucumber |
|
• |
Fresh herbs if you have them, I used basil and chives |

If you want to add nuts, they make a very nutritious addition, as long as they are unroasted and unsalted, if they are salted rinse them well. |
Place all vegetables, herbs and nuts in a bowl.
