I enjoy entertaining during the holidays and always include this colorful salad on the menu. The red pepper and water chestnuts add a sweet crunch...while the homemade vinaigrette gives this salad a savory zest.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, but this salad is so good that I don't even notice it.
