This is now one of my favorite salads, too. Beautiful colors! Terrific taste! I loved the salad dressing and next time I'm going to up the seasoning a bit. I definitely preferred it warm, before I chilled it. Next time I'll serve it at room temperature. And there has to be more ways to use that dressing...
