I'm glad to see this posted...I was about to post it myself! This is the same as a Moosewood recipe, except that this contains less oil and no onions. I really enjoy this salad; the marinade is light and flavorful, and the salad is a lovely combination of colors. Don't leave out the nuts and currants; they really make the dish. Definitely give this a try!
