This easy courgette, tomato and bean salad is lovely at a summer BBQ or picnic. It can be prepared in advance and kept aside until the main meat and/or fish are cooked. It's also nice as a vegetarian dish served in pita or with steamed rice. Any left over is perfect for your lunch-box the next day!
