DH & I are in Dallas visiting SusieQusie & she made this salad for our dinner last nite to serve w/a meatloaf & mashed potatoes. It certainly is very aptly named. It is definitely refreshing & light, appeared to be an easy fix & is full of complimentary flavors. We liked it a lot & it will find its way to our dinner table in Iceland when we return home.

You saved me with this salad. I got last minute of a dinner guest and had no idea what I could make that was quick and impressive -- this fit the bill perfectly. We all enjoyed it, and my husband particularly liked the dressing so we may adopt it as our "standard" from now on. I served it with grilled haddock and potatoes and carrots, roasted in the oven. Thanks again!
