For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the dressing. If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing. Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro can be added just before serving for a brighter, fresher taste. The salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Dec 8, 2023So easy to make, and everyone always loves it. I sometimes add a can of corn for extra sweetness.

Jul 26, 2023I used apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar, and it gave the salad a lovely subtle sweetness.

Jul 21, 2023I was skeptical about the sugar, but it really balances out the acidity of the vinegar. Delicious!
