All the reviews of this salad are correct, it is yummy! It was a huge hit at the BBQ we had. I used just a little italian dressing to bring everything together which turned out perfectly. Made for PAC spring '11. -
This was a nice change from a standard mixed salad. I served this with Greek Grilled Chicken Breast and Baked Buttery Potato Slices. I used blue-cheese stuffed olives and greek viniagrette dressing. I let this sit on the counter for an hour and did not refrigerate for the time alloted in the recipe and it turned out great! -
Lovely fresh salad ! It gave me a great excuse to pick some fresh rocket from the garden. Thank you for a healthy dinner tonight. -
Finally, a salad with cherry tomatoes, which I love, that my DH will eat. It's a little different, so it takes us out of our usual weekday salad rut. We both loved this salad made as directed. Thanks, Baby Kato! Made for Best of 2011 Cookbook tag game as recommended by Loof. -
A refreshing and easy salad though I omitted the olives as I don't care for them and it was a great accompanied wto recipe #321527 with some garlic bread to make a great meal, thank you Baby Kato, made for Went To Market.

I am a very lucky lady. I recently moved to a very small town in New Brunswick, Canada with my wonderful husband who is my best friend.
Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed.
A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
