I enjoy entertaining during the holidays and always include this colorful salad on the menu. The red pepper and water chestnuts add a sweet crunch...while the homemade vinaigrette gives this salad a savory zest.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It was just as good.

I didn't have any walnuts, so I used pecans instead. They worked just as well.
