This colorful, low fat, high fiber salad was a real hit when I first tested it on my girlfriends when they came over for dinner. I knew they really liked it when they all asked for the recipe! It’s so easy to make, super satisfying and chock full of yummy Italian flavors. I especially love the flavor of the peperoncinis in this salad. They give it a little zip!
