very versatile recipe, I will use it often throughout the summer. This time, left out the corn and used shredded carrots instead, used tuna in water, sliced black olives and added pickled beets. Left every thing else as called for and cut the recipe in half, still had some left to take for lunch the next day. A very nice salad for a very hot day!! and a good combination of flavours! Thanks for sharing canarygirl.

This looked like a painting on the platter, it was so pretty. I used all the ingredients as suggested but drizzled a lemon infused olive oil and the vinegar over it all. The anchovy stuffed olives are one of our favourites and were delicious with it. We ate this with my Recipe #78024 and olive bread.
