"Easy and Elegant" is my mother-in-law's mantra and I have resolved to follow it with my own family and friends. Who wants to be in the kitchen the entire time? This easy recipe mainly focuses on pantry items and is about as simple as it gets. It's the perfect salad for a potluck, game day tailgating, or a summer get together because it can be made ahead and can be served at room temperature. You could also serve this dish as a dip with chips for an easy healthy appetizer.
I like this recipe because it serves a crowd (12-14 people), but it also it uses our Pretty Peppers, which imparts a nice tang to this dish.
