When I made this recipe - I sliced very, very thin small pieces of green/red peppers. black olives, carrotts, cucumber and a full bottle of lite ranch dressing. Mixed and chillded overnight. Just before serving, I placed small pieces of tomato neatly on top and covered with feta or blue cheese. It was a hit.

I used this recipe, but with a twist of my own. I used the entire bottle of dressing, a red pepper, and a cucumber. My family loved it.

This was easy to make, but really I thought it was a bit bland. I ended up using the entire bottle of dressing to give it more flavor. This could be really good if it just had something else added to it.
