Vegan, Vegetarian, no dairy, no wheat.

This came from my good friend Kim. She is always cooking up something delicious. This salad is fabulous, especially on a hot, summer day. Great for taking to a gathering as nothing in this recipe can spoil.  This recipe is an adaptation of a recipe from Epicurious.com.
