Irene's Winter Salad image

This recipe comes from Eating Well...made by a recipe tester's mom every year at Christmas. Colors are very festive for the holidays, but delicious anytime of the year. Bonus is that it will travel well for picnics! Twenty minute marinating time is included in cooking time.
