Once upon a time I went vegan for a few years. During that period green vegetables made up a large component of my regular diet. I fell in love with them all, except for raw broccoli. This salad definitely changes that. In the winter I like to use raisins for this but since it is summer, grapes make a very good substitute. This can be made the day before serving because it is even better after some time in the fridge to marinate.
