This is a wonderful salad! It was very quick to make, too. I chopped half of the lettuce and mixed it right into the salad. I used about 1/4 cup of chopped red onion in place of the 1/2 tsp onion powder. Thanx for sharing. This salad will become another one of my picnic/potluck favorites. -
I made this last night for my bunko girls. Everyone loved it!! It is so good. I did use the Kraft Cheese Crumbles (Monterey Jack & Cheddar cheeses) because my time for preparing was limited. I also used turkey and ham... Fabulous.. Everyone is asking for the recipe. Will certainly make again and again ! -
This was very good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written except I used a tad more mayo and added some milk to make it a bit creamier. This had a good taste to it. I ate a lot of the pasta salad while making it :) I will use the rest for lunch tomorrow. -
The flavor of this salad is so good. It was a little dry so I did add a few tablespoons of half and half and it was perfect. Keeper! -
This was really good. I wanted a few more veggies so I added sliced black olives and green peppers and they were great. I also added an extra dry ranch packet and a little milk for extra flavor (and salt and pepper and a little dry Italian dressing packet). I had left over cooked spaghetti noodles that I cut up in little pieces which worked out perfect. (I think I had to add extra seasoning because I added more ingredients than were called for which made it bigger)

I don't think there's anything better than spending time with family and friends and enjoying delicious food together. I just love food. I love reading about food, writing about food, cooking food and.. not surprisingly, eating food. My latest passion is food-photography! I'm still learning a lot, but I'm trying to post photos with all my recipes and reviews. I read recipe books, magazines and food blogs like novels. I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here . I have had so many awesome reviews and fabulous photos taken of my recipes... I try to thank everyone personally .. I sincerely appreciate each and every review and or comment left. I know it takes time to photograph and upload photos - So I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding and trying my recipes and taking the extra effort...
