This is a very refreshing salad, which has a not-too-heavy dressing. Easy to make, and I now have it twice a week, every week. Thanks, AngelaTN.

This is a tasty and refreshing salad! I follow a gluten-free diet and this was perfect for a light, yet filling lunch. I added a few more dashes of the red wine vinegar, chopped cilantro, cubed avocado, sea salt and pepper. Will definitely make it again!

Very good! I like that it is so healthy and quick to make. This is exactly what I need in the fridge to easily grab when I get home from the gym; I am usually tired, starving and have to feed the kids before I can make myself anything so I can munch on this. Made for Cookbook Tag.

I loved this! So different and delicious. I skipped the sweet pickle relish though. Today I used leftover chicken that I grilled last night and it was also amazing! My new favorite.

Loved it! Used a small package of shredded broccoli slaw in place of the carrots and cucumbers. Also added some halved grape tomatoes. I make a wrap out of whole wheat flat bread. YUM! Thanks for the basic recipe!
