  1. 4 Stars Very nice side salad, served alongside Aidell's Sundried Tomato hot dogs and baked beans. For layered salad, I expected more color contrast for presentation before serving individual portions; I would double the amount of red bell pepper next time. I appreciated the tip to blot the cucumber slices before chilling. Made for My 3 Chefs Spring 2008.
