This salad is a common appetizer for wedding or housewarming parties as it looks very pleasing to the eyes yet still very easy to make. The ingredients are very flexible: you can use whatever salad ingredients in season. Just make sure you have a good variety of color and texture and your dish will look and taste amazing. The mixing should be done on the table, so the salad is fresh and not soggy.
