I have to thank Sandy for this recipe.
At the SIT Fall Feast, this was one of the dishes that I liked, so I got the recipe. Very easy to make - obviously can be done the day before, so it is a good one to make for a large meal with a lot of people. A great colorful fall dish (or spring dish if you choose to make it then).

Cooking Notes
Serve as a salad or with tortilla chips.
Recipe makes a large amount and keeps for several days. Be sure to keep it refrigerated.
