    I made this for a simple meal with friends and everyone loved it. I love the crunchy fresh flavors of the salad. I had the leftovers for lunch 2 days later and added baby spinach for more crunch and freshness. Still delicious!

    I made this salad as a side for Thanksgiving, and it was by far one of the biggest hits of the night! Everyone loved the fresh flavor, and the dressing!! During Thanksgiving dinner a lot of times my family is feeling bloated and sick at the end of the night. But since I’ve had to go gluten free, we’ve found that we don’t feel bad after making dishes like this and adding them to our menu! Several people went back for seconds and thirds of this salad. I was beyond happy with it. It will be a staple side dish from now on!

  6. 5 stars
    Yum! Such a good combination of crunchy, salty, sour, etc! The teenagers gobbled it up! It’s on this week’s menu, too.
