Any fresh vegetables can be used here. The flavor is best if you chill the salad for 30 minutes before serving.

I love this recipe first because it has a wonderful spring flavor, second because it looks pretty and third because it is flexible enough to serve warm or cold. The leftovers are also delicious. I often made this for spring get togethers and it always gets raves.
