This was super good. The lemon zest gives it a wonderful, lemony flavor. I used the zest of a whole lemon and it was made a day ahead so I think that made the lemon just "sing" in the salad! Definitely a keeper!!

We do love these kinds of salads, & usually I try to follow the recipes right on down! However, when I got to the end of your ingredient list, & just had to satisfy the urge to include half a cup of dark raisins, so . . .. Thanks for sharing the original of the recipe!
