this came out perfect - just the right amount of oil and the white wine vinegar made it taste wonderful! Thank you! -
Nice, fresh, salad. I used apple cider vinegar and used fresh herbs from the garden. -
This recipe is so tasty have made it for many potlucks. I belong to a cooking club and I am presenting it along with the recipe at our next function. If you have left overs, just drain the mixture so the veggies stay crisp for the next day. -
Had it as a side dish at a BBQ when it was 100 degrees outside. Nice because I didn't have to worry about keeping it cold. Very colorful dish; easy to make and tasted wonderful! -

I saw Derf's picture and decided to make this dish. It is easy and perfect for those hot summer days. It has a good blending of flavors. I used a white sweet onion instead of the red and an orange pepper which added a touch more color. Something I am sure to do again. Thanks!
