The combination of ingredients in this salad gives it a unique tangy flavor. Perhaps that's why I get requests for the recipe whenever I serve this dish to company or bring it to a potluck dinner.

A terrific raw vegetable salad. My husband and 4 kids loved it. We prefer red wine vinegar to cider and I omitted the olives. It was a hit. Pouring the warm dressing over the vegetables wilts them a bit and makes them very easy to eat. We give this salad five stars.
