Lori, I am weak with pleasure at the thought of this dish. This is so bookmarked to make for the next time I entertain. Thank you!
Yes Lori, the texture and colors are very beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
The colours are enticing. I agree what's not to like. I can't imagine guests would leave any of this dish behind once it is served.
This is great! I'm on a salad kick and this is very salady. I'm also posting a crowd-sized dish and it's a salad. :)
Looks Delicious :-)
The colors in the dish are so tempting!
