What a great summer salad! I have made it twice and my family inhaled it. I did add a few extra veggies I had laying around( cucumber, tomato etc.) I really liked the extra crunch these gave to the salad but thats just me. This salad is a full meal with just some garlic bread sticks or rolls. Will be making again and again. -
Great salad. Easy to fix. Thoroughly enjoyed. Finish it off with freshly ground black pepper and shredded Parmesan cheese! I made it the night before using only 1 cup of the dressing. Served it the next day for lunch and ended up adding the remaining dressing. Absolutely awesome.

Loved every bite and so did my company! -
I thought this was too oily. I added some tomatoes and added extra olives and cheese, but there was still way too much oil in the dressing.

Yummy salad!! Very quick and easy to make with loads of color and taste. I did add 1 tsp of sugar to the dressing and tossed in 1/4 cup fresh, shredded Parmesan cheese. My family loved this salad and I will definitely be making it again. Thanks for this wonderful, easy recipe...it is definitely a keeper!!

That baby in the picture...yep that's me some eon's ago...not even gonna tell you how many. I live in the Sierra Mountains bordering a National Forest with my chickens and goats. My wonderful husband who passed on October 10,2006 was extremely ill with several terminal illnesses and is sorely missed. You will find "Renal Failure" cookbook with recipes collected for his meals, these seem to also be pretty good for Diabetic Diets and some for Heart Healthy Diets.

I Love to cook good food, but Italian is one of my specialties. Baking is my fun...pies, cookies, and making candy. Don't do cakes, nobody here eats them. But make a cheesecake and it disappears.
Gardening is a hobby, and love to run out and pick fresh vege's and herbs to add to my meals. Besides my dogs, cats, fish, 3 goats, I have a really good collection of chickens, and the ladies present me with a steady supply of fresh eggs, and fertilizer for the garden. Food preservation and storage is a passion.

As you might be able to tell from my name I collect bears, ceramic and stuffed (Started with one on the Birth of my first grandchild) now have over 600 bears and no room in my house for another...not that they don't continue to find a spot in my humble home as everyone has to give me one no matter the occasion.
