    I loved this! I added a little more lemon juice because I really liked it with the tuna and tomatoes. Very refreshing but filling salad. Would be good with a sprinkle of red vinegar I'll bet. I think I' skip the bell pepper next time I'm not very fond of it. Terrific with cheese toast fingers on the side. Thanks a bunch.
