Reviews
We agree with the first reviewer- it’s not a bad salad ( it’s definitely missing something) it’s easy and cheap if you are in a time crunch, but not our favorite.
Excellent!!! This salad is awesome!
I just made the salad dressing for my own use, it is FABULOUS. A great flavor. Better than store bought and easy. Make a double batch, you won’t be sorry.
Not the most flavorful, but a nice basic Italian dressing.
