This salad came about when I took all the salad mixins to a friends'' house but forgot the lettuce. It was very good and got rave reviews from everyone!
Put all ingredients in a bowl and toss to mix. Put in the refrigerator to marinate for a few hours and eat. I used red- vegan wine vinegar and purple ruffles vinegar, which my sister made for me out of purple ruffles basil.
We served this with some hot Indian dishes as is, but you can also serve as follows:
Serve on a bed of red-leaf lettuce. Serve in a pita with some lettuce and salsa (that''s what I did with the leftovers -yummy). Serve on morning whole-grain english muffin.
