This was a great sidedish for our family BBQ. I will add more dressing next time for a little more kick!

A great salad --- just makes one think of summer days and sitting on the porch. (I also made it once with Kraft Poppyseed Dressing --- it is a sweeter dressing --- really good as well!)

This is a good recipe, you can however add finely chopped tomatoes and it really adds to the flavor.
