A Really Simple, Tasty, South African Cape Malay Salad

When I prepared one of my favorite stews, Cape Malay Curry (http://viaggiviniecucine.blogspot.com/2012/04/cape-malay-curry-fantastic-south.html) for a visiting friend last week, I found a tasty and easy Cape Malay tomato salad to go with it. I found this recipe at http://www.bcliquorstores.com/recipe/food/cape-malay-tomato-salad.
