We usually love CL salad recipes and have tried most of them.  This is the first we've come across that didn't get a high rating in our household.  This one wasn't even finished off at the table and leftovers weren't kept.  We found the dressing to be distasteful and didn't think the flavors went well together at all.

Love this salad - everyone who tries it loves the flavors and asks for the recipe. So easy!

A real crowd pleaser, kids like it too! Often bring it to large gatherings, dressing on the side, and toss together right before serving. Nice to make ahead. If raw onions are a problem for some, they can be left off, or as they are added in rings, they are easily removed by those they offend.
