SO HOW'D IT GO?
i make almost the same salad for every summer barbeque my mother throws, but i add red onion and the dressing i use is equal parts (about 3 Tbs) oil and apple cider vinegar. yummy.
We really liked this recipe. I added 2 tablespoons sugar for that sweet/sour flavor that my husband likes.
this was great as a salad and in wraps! variations: used raw bell peppers and 2 cans of black beans and added cilantro, lime juice, and some sauteed onion and garlic. next time I'll make more dressing and add more spices - the flavors were pretty mild, but it was all really fresh and light, great for summer. and yes, very colorful!
