I love cold, crunchy salads in the summer and sometimes this is just what I want. There are different goodies you can add or substitute to this recipe. I like the combination of dried cranberries and slivered almonds or raisins and sunflower seeds. I also like putting the red onion in a little vinegar and water to quick-pickle.
