For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of black pepper or a dash of Dijon mustard to the dressing. If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing to 3/4 cup or even 1/2 cup. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as red bell pepper or chopped carrots, based on your personal preferences. This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop over time.
