Loved this easy salad which we served with Easy Grilled Chicken Teriyaki. The only change I made was including some cherry tomatoes. Yummy! Thanks for sharing this keeper which we will be having often this summer!

Having lamb chops tonight and needed a side which was light enough to balance the richness of the meat but flavorful enough to hold it's on on the palate. This salad reached that perfect balance and made a delicious side. I loved the crunchiness of the vegetables and the spicy bite along with the pickling combination of sweet and tart. I used Splenda for the sugar making this 0 points for WW. Thanks diner524. Made for Zaar Stars Tag Game.
