This is one of my favorite dishes. It is fairly easy to make and tastes good hot or cold.
I like to make a big batch for dinner then portion out a bunch for the rest of the week for lunches.

Why do u put it in the freezer for a bit before the fridge.

Because the freezer will cool it faster.
Makes total sense. Thanks
This looks yummy! And healthy too!
Yum! This is my kind of salad – pinning for later!
I may have to leave out the onions, but this looks fab!
