This looks like it would be an ideal recipe for anyone who is watching carbs and most especially anyone who is controlling diabetes through diet. I may have to whip this up soon and give it a shot myself, since I love just about everything that is in it.

This sounds like it would be just perfect on a hot summer day. I always love a chilled salad for lunch.
Does it taste better if you let the seasonings mix and blend for awhile?

It would blend the flavors, but I usually can't/don't wait.
Thanks

You know, I had not thought about that, but I bet this would be extra good if you made it the night before and then served it for lunch the next day.
