NOTES : Authors notes:
Simple to prepare & lovely to look at, with a flavor that enhances any spicy hot entree. I'm especially fond of serving this salad at buffets, as an accompaniment to 2 or more casseroles. It makes for a cozy, lingering evening; guests can eat as often & as much as they wish, & the hostess can relax, since nothing wilts or gets cold (just keepthe hot dishes warm on a warming tray).
