Fantastsic recipe. I will make this again and again. Even hubby loved it and he's not a fan of a lot of mixed flavors.

This is fabulous! The only change i made was using chopped red onion instead of the scallion.. Delicious!

Crabby I just love your recipes. I make this several times a year. I Originally gave you 4 stars but I discovered that the choice of dressing makes a big difference. Do not waist your time on Kraft.. it is too oily. Olimpia Dukacus is great, if you can't find it, look for a better priced vinigarette.

This is a very good cold salad. The real secret I think is to make it a day ahead of time. It was really better the next day after the flavors had a chance to meld
