We really enjoyed this quick and easy salad. I liked the fact that there was no cooking required, so it's easy to put together in a hurry. I used light sour cream in the dressing, and added a pinch of sugar and some garlic powder as well. Also, I used the fresh dill which added a nice, subtle flavor. Thank you for sharing this yummy salad! *Made for 8th Annual Photo Swap*
