"This is just fabulous for the summer! I recently had some people over, just a casual get-together, half of the people, the other half milling around. I BBQ'd chicken and I served this recipe as a salad before eating. They cleaned out the entire big bowl! It's just a nice, refreshing salad.This recipe was one of those jotted down on a piece of paper that I'd gotten out of a magazine."

Delicious! Raves from everyone at the table and it looks beautiful. I also added some grilled red potatoes and sweet potatoes. (I think next time if I add the potatoes I would increase the amount of dressing as the potatoes absorbed more of it.) Thanks for the recipe!

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05. My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him. I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me. We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here. I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more. Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact. I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
