Delicious! I can't believe I'm the first one to review this dish-it was fast, easy & tasted great. I cut the recipe in half, used the red wine vinegar & left out the cherry tomatoes (don't like tomatoes in general). I also left out the green onions since I didn't have any. Chilled in the fridge for 2 hours. It made a lot even though I cut it in half. I ate this with a turkey burger so I used it as a side dish, not a main one. I do think one add chicken strips for a meal, though-something to think about! Thanks for sharing :-)
