I used to get this tasty salad from a great lunch spot near my office in Parson's Green in London. I tried to replicate it the other day and I got pretty close. Mine wasn't as good but I think that is because I tried to make it really healthy. I basically followed the recipe below I found off random sites on the Internet but I also added arugula (which I would recommend only adding right when you are going to eat it, as the dressing makes the arugula wilt). It was a tad dry - so consider adding a bit more oil if you can spare it especially if you aren't going to eat it right away. This makes a very fast meal and it a good one to take during the week for lunch.
