This salad is what summer tastes like! It’s quick and easy and the ingredients are readily available in the summer. The combination of fresh flavors will get you tons of compliments if you serve it at your next summer BBQ. I took it to a pot luck picnic with friends from a business group and it won first prize by a landslide!
