This easy and tasty cold dish is a fine addition to any menu and is perfect for entertaining because it can be made well ahead of time. In fact, it is even more delicious served two or three days after it’s made when the flavors have had a chance to marry. It can be served either as a colorful first-course salad or as an accompaniment to the entree. This is also good with 1/4 teaspoon of dillweed added to the dressing.
