I was really disappointed in this salad. I have never selected a recipe to try that there was nothing about it I liked, but this is the one! There was no flavor, just bland. I think perhaps some ranch dressing or mayonaise mixed with parmasean cheese could have redeemed it. It really sounded like a good recipe and I used fresh vegies out of my garden.

Debbb, You're right when you say refreshing. I made this last night for a BBQ today. It was a big hit. This is a great summer salad. I added a splash of Worchestershire,a teaspoon of seasoned salt and a spoonful of Miracle Whip, just to give it a little more zip. There are so many possibilities with this salad. Thank you for posting a winner.
