Beautiful salad, well dressed in Italian goodness Catherine. I like idea of adding a bit of marinade from the peppers and brine of the capers.

What a lovely plate of salad! I love the mixture of herbs that you use. I don't use sage often enough! Thanks for sharing!

I've grilled basil chicken, but not with sage . . . it must be doubly delightful! Perfect for summer, Catherine. Blessings, Roz xoxo
