Instructions

Combine the salad ingredients in a serving bowl.
Combine all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and stir together until well blended. Pour over the salad and toss well.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. You can serve at once, but this salad benefits from standing for a short while — 30 to 45 minutes — at room temperature (covered) before serving.
If you have time to let the salad stand for a bit, stir occasionally to distribute the dressing. Taste to adjust the sweet/tangy balance before serving.
