This is a simple, entree salad that is great for hot summer nights. Because this dish is served cold, it is great to take on a picnic or packed for lunch the next day.

I made this tonight and it was delish! I added a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar and pepper for a little more flavor. The family informed me “You can make that one again!”
