Wow was this good. I used a red wine vinaigrette dressing from Wegman's and added some red onion, salt and pepper. It was so easy and super delicious. I will make this all summer and for parties.

Our entire family loves this salad! Instead of the vinaigrette, I use Italian dressing. It adds a bit more flavor, and we love it!

This is the best. It's quick, easy, and the red wine vinegarette gives just a hint of sweet.
