“This easy, 5-ingredient recipe makes a nice alternative to potato salad for a summer side dish.” It’s also refreshing, colorful and a great way to use up leftover chicken. Enjoy! Bridget Francoeur – Adrian, MI

I made this and the Parmesan Knots from Taste of Home for a luncheon jewelry party I was hosting and everyone loved both. The salad was easy to make and easy to eat off the plate without having to sit at a table. Will definitely use this recipe again! Try it AND the Parmesan Knots. Great light lunch!

Followed the recipe exactly as it says, but the final dish ended up having a very bland taste. We added more ranch, about a tablespoon of sugar, dash of salt, and some milk. After adding these ingredients, it tasted much better!

love this! I've also had it with cubed cheddar cheese in it.

An interesting combination of 5 items makes up this salad. It is easy to prepare and I will use it as a "take to work" salad.

My daughter LOVES this. It's fast cheap and a snap to make and for a summer meal, this is wonderful, we used red grapes, though. It gave it more color.
