  1. Wonderful! I made this as stated, except I added thin sliced red onions and a diced hard-boiled egg to make this a lunch meal. Even my scared-of-vegetables hubby loved it! Thanks!
     
  2. I made this for lunch for my husband and I. We both really enjoyed it. I will be making it more often for my whole family. Thanks for a quick and easy recipe for busy moms!
     
  3. Quick to make and the dressing- even with so few ingredients is delicious. For color I added some crescent shaped slices of red onion. This salad recipe was placed in my "last minute"/"quick meals" recipe file. CG
     
  4. Great salad!! I sauteed actual onions in my bacon drippings rather than using onion salt. I found the dressing a bit too tart so I also added some raw sugar for a sweet and sour taste. Great basic recipe. Just like the one my mom used to make!!

I would like to let you all know that I am no longer able to review your recipes that I have tried. since they changed the site around webtv does not supprt zaars new site.I have a webtv not a computer and webtv does not support the new recipezaar site. so I will no longer be able to review your great recipes,nor will I be able to put my own recipes on here.Please don't think I wouldn't like to review your recipes,it was one of the nice parts of zaar that I did enjoy doing. So please forgive!!! I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6 grand and glorious grandchildren. I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby. My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands. He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
