A little different combination of flavors makes this so good. We like it any time, but is especially good in the winter, when other fresh vegetables are not as good or quite expensive!

This had an interesting combination of flavors. I served it well chilled on top of baby spinach. Leftovers will be served tomorrow with lentils.Reply

What a delightful, different salad. I served this as a side with morrocan chicken and rice, and it worked well. I halved the recipe, but chose to use the full amount of ingredients for the marinade and was glad I did. Be sure to allow time for the flavors to marry, as this salad is even better the next day. Thank you NoSpringchicken for sharing the recipe.Reply
