Cypriot Salad (gf)
There are several dishes/recipes I loved before I became gluten free. At first I was devastated but I realised I could still create and have a version of the dish with the same tastes and textures by just changing up the ingredients. Not missing out and not having the same symptoms after a gluten meal.
This is one of those recipes, and whilst not quite the same, still very tasty.
