Yummmm!! My husband and I both love mushrooms and olives. This was perfect for us. I chose to use red wine vinegar and doubled the amount of garlic. The marinade was nice and zesty. Thanks for an easy summer salad. -
This is a pretty good salad, but I really think the olives do more damage than add flavor. Out of all the salads I made for last night's cookout, this one was the least popular. I followed the recipe exactly as written (okay, I used a red pepper instead of a green one). I do plan to make it again, without the olives this time. If it's better received I will update my review. -
I made this for a cook-out last night. We thought it was very tasty. I used white wine vinegar in the dressing which turned out very zesty. I added a little salt and pepper to the salad before adding the dressing but that was the only addition. Went perfectly with the grilled kebobs. Thanks.
