Summer Tomato, Egg and Potato Salad

This easy salad can be served with meat, fish and poultry. Add cooked green beans and carrots for a beautiful mix of color. I used beautiful heirloom tomatoes from my garden and served the salad with “Bifana” grilled pork strips.  Find the bifana recipe here.

Pataniscas de Bacalhau go perfectly with this salad.

Take it along on a picnic and pour the dressing over the salad when ready to serve. Since you don’t use mayonnaise, you don’t have to worry about keeping this salad cold. Enjoy!
