Maltese garden salad is simply called insalata.  This is best made with fresh ingredients in peak season.  I am blessed to have a beautiful International cuisine garden that  just happened to be filled with fresh ingredients for this simple salad.( I give all the credit to my husband Dan for his amazing ability to grow things where it is near impossible)  I love  salads of all types and this one utilizing some fresh herbs of basil and thyme added lovely flavors to the mix.  A very simple dressing also helps the delicious fresh vegetables shine through.
