This salad shows up at every single gathering I make. Everyone loves it, and it’s usually the first bowl to be emptied. It’s a “must try” that deserves all the accolades — the colors are bright and vivid, as you are “eating the rainbow,” and the creamy dressing complements every component in the salad.
