There is a tea room in California that serves this delicious salad. I miss eating lunch with my mom, daughters, and friends at that tea room. But I am so happy to have been able to bring this recipe with me when I moved to Virginia.
This salad is perfect as your main dish during the warm summer months. Or as an offering at a potluck, brunch, or your Easter lunch. It will quickly become one of your favorites!
