Yum! I took this on a long drive today in the cooler and it was much enjoyed by me and a friend. Thanks! Made for ZWT#^ by a Looney Spoon Phoodie!

Terrific salad! After a heavy Greek lunch, I wanted something easy and light tonight. This fit the bill perfectly and it was so good. I was out of red wine vinegar, so I used rice wine vinegar and it was excellent. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT6.
