Story

This salad has a lot of color, flavor, and texture - all good things! You can serve it over a few leaves of romaine lettuce just to give it a pretty presentation. It really brightens up a meal, especially when the weather starts getting colder and the skies are gray.
I omit the sugar just because I don't need it. But, for kids it does add just enough sweetness to encourage them to eat it up. You could use a drizzle of honey, or even a sprinkle of brown sugar instead.
