I thought this recipe was great! I made it for the first time the other day and took it to work for a potluck and everyone loved it! I used half sugar and half Splenda and red wine vinegar. I also added cherry tomatoes and black olives but didn't use onions and didn't serve on lettuce leaves just for convience. It still turned out great! I will be making this a lot more! Thanks for the great recipe!
