"This salad is great to make for a cookout or any dinner when the temperatures are balmy (such as it is where I live, in Southeast Georgia). Goes well with an Herb Grilled Fish or Chicken, even Burgers! If you have fresh herbs, such as the dill and chives in your herb garden, this is a great recipe to utilize what you have & the freshness of it, makes it even tastier."
