I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise-based dressings, so I substituted Greek yogurt in this recipe. It was still delicious!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some strawberries and blueberries that were about to go bad, so I threw them in this salad and they were delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have a container of cooked rice in my fridge, so this recipe is a lifesaver.
