My family requests that I make this salad for get-togethers. It’s crunchy and very good; everyone goes back for seconds! I prepared this on a day when I found that my refrigerator had very few ingredients remaining to cook with. So the best solution was to put a salad together and finish it all. It makes a great addition at get-togethers as it not only looks great but you can prepare a lot of it in a few minutes. Hope you enjoy it 🙂
