Cooler Than A Cucumber Salad

Description

This recipe may be simple but its flavor is big and juicy. I think it would be fabulous alongside spicy Asian curries, quick stir-fries, herb-roasted dinners — and yes, it would be perfect for picnics. This is a delicious make-ahead picnic salad. Make more than you think you’ll need, because you just might want some for breakfast.
