  1. We loved this salad. At first I was thinking there would be not enough cucumber and tomatoes but when it was tossed it was perfect proportions. The parmesan (use good quality) makes it taste terrific and the Red leaf lettuce was pretty and delicious. I used homemade red wine viniagrette using recipe#247431 and it was super in this. I will make this again. LOVED IT! So fresh and tasty. Thanks for posting CHEF RZ Fan! Made for Healthy Choices tag game January 2012. Enjoy! ChefDLH!
     
  2. For salads, you can't go wrong with this. I did not have olives (or care for them), so omitted them. I used a Raspberry Vinaigrette because it was what I had, but it was simple and tasty. Husband even commented on how good it was. Thank you for sharing.
     
  3. This is so easy and so good! I used a chunk of Parmesan that I grated and grape tomatoes. Thanks for sharing this keeper!
     
  4. This salad was wonderful! Simple yet easy to throw together...my favorite kind of recipe! :) I was so excited about it that I totally forgot the cucumbers. I had a chunk of parmesan cheese that I ran through the food processor. I will be making this often!! Thanks so much for posting!!
