I can't think of a better way to enjoy a sunny spring afternoon than sitting on the patio and sipping a tall glass of water and eating this delicious crisp salad. 

It's made with some of my favorite ingredients and the flavors just melt in your mouth.

Sweet roasted red peppers spice up this salad to make it more than the everyday salad.

Why not make enough to share and have some for lunch the next day?
