Make up the base of this salad and take it to the bbq. Finish off the grilling and toss together for a delicious warm salad. Add or subtract some of the flavourings to taste. You may like more or less lemon or maybe you prefer green olives? A couple of the elements are BBQ’d then added to the rest of the ingredients making a lovely warm salad. Most of it can be made ahead, then the rest finished off right there at the BBQ. It could be one of your last BBQ efforts for the season if you are saying goodbye to summer, but for you over there….dreaming of spring this is for you.
