I usually serve this dish in the summer months. It is the perfect summer patio salad sure to please. My guest always comment on it’s light tasty dressing and how delicate the texture is. It is perfect on hot days and often becomes a conversation piece with it’s vibrant orange color. If your want a salad that is fast and easy then this is the one for you, as it hardly takes any time at all make.
