I tried this recipe last night and we were so thrilled! This recipe was light and flavorful and lots of crunch. We also added grape tomatoes and placed the salad over lettuce greens. For lunch today, I placed the salad in pita pockets. So yummy!

This was a light, delicious, crunchy salad - perfect for ladies luncheon. I served it with pita and hummus too.
