Like Mary, I had all ingredients on hand. This salad is a snap to put together, and I like that it uses premade salad dressing. Very tasty and filling.

<p>I enjoy cooking (obviously), as well as reading a good book (Twilight, Harry Potter (Slytherin!!!), Lord of the Rings etc) or watching the Food Network and Cooking Channel.</p>
<p>Music - I love to rock out while cooking a good meal. Some of my favorite bands are The Killers, Muse, U2 and Mute Math just to name a few.</p>
<p>I have a passion for foodspots and thoroughbred horse racing, Combining them brings me ultimate joy. When it's thoroughbred horse racing season in Kentucky, it's all about tradition, including the food.</p>
<p>A huge pet peeve of mine is those that can't take constructive criticism.</p>
<p>I am inspired to cook based on the time of year and/or event. I love to cook for birthday's and parties, so depending on the theme that will be my deciding factor on what I will serve. I love to experiment with different ethnic foods and spices. Thus, my interest bringing me to my job here at <a href=http://www.food.com>www.food.com</a></p>
