Simple & delicious
Not only was this SUPER easy and fast, the presentation was excellent and it was DELICIOUS. I used pomagrante red wine vinegar because thats all i had. Still great.
This is a simple, quick and refreshing salad.
This salad is very good on your own, but I’ve made it a number of times now depending on what else I was serving. Our favorite I think is green onions instead of the red onion, shredded carrots and chopped bacon added to the recipe. And of course a sprinkling of cheese to compliment the meal.
What an outstanding salad, that can also be a meal in itself. Everyone that we have prepared this for, loved it. It is a great pairing for grilled meats.
Great Recipe!
This was the perfect accompaniment to the Linguini with Clam Sauce. I expect to be making this salad often.
This was really yummy. I had it for dinner and threw in a grilled chicken breast. It would make a great lunch too. Just remember to bring the breath mints:)
This is now a regular dish in my home! Some slight variations when ingredients warrant; however, it is a wonderful and refreshing salad my family enjoys almost every night. This has become a staple dish at my home and I served it on a camping trip recently and had rave reviews from all. It is simple, easy and light and just so fresh and tasty. Thank you Rachal for preparing this dish and sharing it with your tv audience! It’s just what we needed.
