"This salad, filled with the colors and flavors of the season, is not only beautiful to look at but also easy to prepare. It would be a fitting start to any holiday meal, or if topped with cubes of smoked turkey, would make a light meal in and of itself. Make the dressing in advance and toss it just before serving...."
