Chopped Salad Italiano

Very good and easy to make. I made this up one night and let it sit and ate it for lunch the next day. Nice flavor. I followed the recipe as written other then I used Dreamfield pasta as that is what I buy. I also had cooked ham instead of honey ham and my dressing was not reduced fat. I also used shredded cheese instead of crumbles. Was a nice lunch.

With the bacon and ham in this salad, it made for a one dish meal which we enjoyed for yesterday's lunch. As monterey jack cheese is not a cheese I'm familiar with, I used some cheddar (full cream) and some feta (low fat). I'm happy to eat low-fat versions of the white creamy cheeses, but would rather omit the cheese than use low-fat versions of the yellow cheeses which I find tasteless. A mix of these two cheeses seemed like a good compromise and provided an interesting taste contrast. I also added some fresh thyme. Thank you for sharing this very tasty salad, Lainey. Made for PRMR.

This was wonderful salad and a great way to use up leftover frozen ham from Thansgiving, I used feta cheese and cherry tomatoes and my recipe#237096 thanks for sharing this hon!...Kitten:)

This is a good basic salad and the flavors meld together great. The pasta is a nice touch and I used mozarella instead of colby jack cheese.

Great salad! I used tri-color rotini, mixed salad greens, and Wishbone Robusto Italian salad dressing. This had a nice mixture of veggies and meats for a delightful hearty salad. Thanks Lainey for sharing this one.
