"A great make ahead, a colourful salad with the added bonus that it tastes as good as it looks. Enjoyed any time but wonderful to have on hand for weekend guests, entertaining large groups and a big hit at potlucks. This refreshing salad is another of those crowd pleasers, the kind that sees to recipe requests. Be sure to refrigerate, preferably in a covered jar to keep it crisp and fresh. Only the salad itself goes into the serving bowl, the marinade remains in the jar. Served in a clear glass salad bowl adds to the presentation."

Delicious and refreshing salad which I served with barbecued ribs and steamed asparagus. Did have to make a couple of changes. For the peppers I used all jarred red roasted peppers and frozen corn which I steamed and cooled before making. The salad was a perfect foil for the richness of the ribs. Will surely be made again and again. Thank you Gerry for sharing! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.

Great salad, halved the recipe using only one can of corn. The other change was skipping the parsley, but threw in some dried parsley flakes and used chives instead of green onions. I also skipped the tarragon - great salad to go with burgers. Thanks for sharing!

I made this for Father's Day picnic, all that was changed was I used red onion and added in a clove of minced garlic, I doubled the recipe and not one spoonful was left, I will be making this salad again very soon, thanks Gerry for your wonderful recipe ( I made this for the Billboard tag game)
