So a couple of years ago, I attended a bridal shower for my brother-in-law’s future wife and one of the cute women helping with the shower made this salad . . . it was just so fresh and flavorful and the secret ingredient was teriyaki sauce! I probably had a third helping of it during the shower (you know, for testing purposes to make sure that the recipe was blog-worthy . . . ha ha!) and now this is one of my favorite dishes to bring to family get-togethers or parties. It’s perfect year-round and always hit by everyone who tries it!
