Steve Nelson
Fresh, crunchy, delicious. Can be made ahead.
Andrew Martinez
Delicious recipe. Simple to make, and NO mayo!
This is a keeper.

I made this exactly as is, except I omitted the scallions because I did not have any. The red onion added lots of onion-y flavor, though. The only thing I changed is that I added additional red wine vinegar, lemon juice and olive oil. The small amount of dressing just did not give it enough “zip”. I doubled the amount. Based on personal taste, I also added additonal salt and pepper. This recipe is definitely a winner and I am sure I will bring it to lots of picnics this summer.

I took this to a pot luck BBQ and it was a huge hit. Light, refreshing and full of flavour. I will put this in my regular rotation!
