    First made this salad about a year ago, and it has become a staple when feeding a group, especially at tailgates and other outside events. LOVE IT!!! And it is so very easy. I have passed the recipe on to everyone that I have serve it to, including very novice cooks. A little twist that works:: use Greek salad dressing instead of oil & vinegar, then add feta cheese. Garbanzo beans are a must here, but I skip the frozen peas. YUM!! Also - really tasty as a hearty dip with Frito Scoops Corn Chips.
