I love this salad. It's light, refreshing, easy and quick to make.And it tastes great! Perfect on a summer's day. Hands down, this is my favorite salad any time of year. If you want to kick it up a bit, instead of salt and pepper try using Old Bay or Lemon Pepper seasoning. For a little heat, add finely minced jalapeno.
