Tomato and preserved lemon salad

Serves 4 15 min

Light and crunchy, cold and juicy, this vegan salad is good with fresh bread and salad. Substitute the tomato with cubes of cooked sweet potato or squash for a milder, autumnal finish. To make this a full meal, toss with couscous, bulgur or quinoa and crumble over feta or goat's cheese.
