Reviews
Delicious dressing:)
Excellent, very flavorful…we also added some dry, crushed ramen noodles
What are sweet peppers?
We love this salad! It’s less time consuming if you make the dressing early afternoon and refrigerate until you’re ready to start chopping the rest of the ingredients for dinner.
Delicious salad! You can definitely adjust the veggies based on what you have on hand. I have also made this with baby greens and spinach as the base and it’s still yummy.
I brined 2 boneless breasts the day before and we grilled them before dinner. I prepped everything early in the day so this all came together easily at dinner time. I added fried wontons and it’s a keeper for sure !
A lot of prep work. But is delicious and worth the work! I try to buy as many items I can that are already chopped.
So, so yummy! It took me longer to pull it together than expected, but so worth it!
Yum
I have been making a version of this weekly for the past few months. We love the dressing and the rest of the salad mixture I change up with whatever I have on hand. A lot of times I used bagged salad with a mixture of kale and cabbage and left over chicken of some sort. I love the addition of chopped peanuts. It gives a nice crunch.
