Barbecued meat and salad goes hand in hand in my book, and nothing says summer like a vibrant, tasty salad!

You can’t argue that this salad looks like a rainbow of colour, and that’s why I’ve called it ‘Rainbow Salad’! To go with, on the side, I made a zesty dressing and served it at my Is It Summer Yet?! Barbecue
