Juicy, bright and colourful, each variation of this salad easily brings summer to any table. Do only use one herb at a time, though. Dressing amounts are approximate and will depend on personal taste. Feel free to use a little more Balsamic if using basil or cilantro. If using mint you can cut the amount of Balsamic right down and lessen the oil a bit, too.
