This is one of the best side dish recipes ever!!! Such a contrast in texture and it tastes great. My entire family loves this recipe and requests it often.

I made this to bring as a side dish for our family Christmas, everyone loved it! I used colby jack cheese instead of the hot pepper cheese.

This was definately easy, very colorful and just the right crunch. Great easy salad to take to pot lucks and will get plenty of raves.
