It's a very refreshing salad especially on a hot day. It's definately more of a side item for my husband and I because although it's good, there comes a point where enough is enough. I hope that makes sense. I guess I'm saying that I wouldn't make a meal of it. It would be a nice dish to take to a get together cause I'm sure you'll get compliments and don't forget to make some recipe cards up ahead of time for those who ask for it.

7/14/2011 04:27:10 PM Report AbuseI 1st had this salad at a neighborhood potluck cookout and loved it. I wasn't able to find out who had prepared it, so I looked it up when I got home and found it here at bhg.com. We're having a get-together this weekend with a whole different set of friends and I will be introducing them to this delicious salad.
