This is very timely for me! I've been thining I should do a lot more salads for dinner during the hot months and this sounds great. I think that bit of parmesan would give it a lovely flavor that most salads don't have. Can you think of a reason why tomatoes couldn't be added to this?

Actually you can add whatever you like; some times I even add frozen peas; thaw them and rinse with warm water, drain and add a layer of those too! As far as the tomatoes,I usually use either grape or cherry tomatoes so there isn't juice running in to the other layers and watering it down.
