1/2 cup red pepper, chopped

Let's Dish
I recently bought a salad like this from my local supermarket deli and new I had to try and recreate it at home.  I'm not going to lie, my husband and kids wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole, but I love it.  I make up a batch and keep it in the fridge for several days worth of healthy lunches.

I buy this salad often at a local grocery store and am so glad to see a recipe for it. Can't wait to try it as I know it's bound to be healthier than the one from the store. Thank you!
