We made this for my birthday weekend and oh wow was it a hit! Because we had leftovers, we stored it in the refridgerator until the next day - it was a bit dry so we just simply added a bit more bbq sauce and it again was perfection! My son just can't get enough - it's such a great summer salad. Two thumbs up from me and my family!

I've been intrigued by this ever since I found it on Pinterest a couple weeks ago. I made it today and it's delicious. I added some leftover grilled chicken to make it a complete meal for lunch. Even without the chicken it would be a great side dish when grilling burgers.
