Light, fresh, and bursting with color, this recipe takes advantage of seasonal ingredients to produce one sensational salad. We’ve ditched the mayonnaise and instead used a healthier oil and vinegar dressing that’s been kicked up with our Susie Q’s Santa Maria Seasoning. Serve on hearty nut bread or a bed of greens for a well-balanced meal.
