This was a delicious salad and so colorfull. I cut the recipe in half since we were only two and it still made a whole lot. I followed the recipe except I didn't add any carrots or artichokes. This was a very filling salad with all those delicious ingredients. I made the salad the night before and then had it for lunch the next day. I just added extra dressing before serving. I had used Recipe #42613 for the dressing and it was really good. Thanks for a sharing a wonderful recipe Chicagoland Chef. This is another keeper.

Hi there! Originally CHICAGOLAND CHEF DU JOUR, I like to think of myself as a fantastic home cook with a flair for the gourmet. I have gotten & shared many recipes since I became a member in 2007. Although I have not been active in a few years, I still return to look for recipes from some of my fave chefs. Thanks to all you have helped me over the years and thanks a bunch to any and all reviews.
