My family loves this salad as either a main meal or a side dish. We especially enjoy making it during the hot summer months, using fresh ingredients right out of our garden. It looks terrific with all the different colors!

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead and it was still delicious.
