Ah, Dorothy, you hit it big time with this recipe. I printed it out and I took it on my camping trip; it was wonderful as a make-ahead meal. I used some leftover grilled sirloin, and refrigerated the salad. I took it out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving. It was easy to prepare, and it looked terrific. The gang all gave it "thumbs up". Thanks for posting this one.

Miss Annie
I should have rated this a while ago. So sorry. I made this for a picnic and it was a very yummy meal. Easy to tote in the cooler and a complete meal in itself so all I needed was some fresh fruit for dessert. I even made iot the nite b4 and it held up well. Thanks for posting. We are going on a car trip July 4th weekend, I think I'll make it for a picnic lunch on the road. Thanks for posting.
