This was a hit at my Lion’s club meeting recently. Thanks Rachael!
AMAZING I LOVE IT
Love this quick easy salad. I sometimes add grilled chicken tenders and pineapple chunks for an all-in one meal….
I didnt have any salad dressing so I searched for “basic salad Dressing” and this recipe came up. I will never buy bottled again. This simple dressing is great especially in the summer when you want the taste of your fresh picked tomatoes to shine. Or when you just want to taste all the salad ingredients and not just the dresssing-not overpowering at all. Oh I did use canola instead of olive oil. I had to laugh though because I didnt know there was a “recipe” to make a salad.
Oh my gosh, this recipe was so easy even I could make it! Thank you, Rachel!
This is a wonderful and easy recipe.
this is what I am looking for can I use Marinated mushrooms and artichoke hearts in my salad for a potlock dinner Rachel
This is a great mix of vegetables. i used my own dressing and half of a regular cucucmber. i also used 2 carrots instead of one. salad was colorful and tasty!
Easy to make it your own.
