YUM! This was so refreshing and a nice change from tuna salad sandwiches or casserole. I made this again for my mother-in-law and she also loved it and asked for the recipe. I will definitely make this again.

My husband and three kids devoured this salad. It has a nice crunch and the garlic is just right. Makes a fast lunch or dinner without heating up the house.
