Quite flavorful and so easy to do! I added some diced turkey to make it a luncheon salad and it was delicious. Want to try adding diced salami next time!

Very different layered salad, am very glad I tried it and WILL be making it again, all my guests loved it. Was looking for a veggie salad that did not have any added sugar or meat, this fit the bill. I was not able to find a bottled lower carb creamy Italian dressing, so I used a creamy Italian/Ranch which worked fine. I used double the shredded asiago cheese for the topping, and added chopped fresh basil as well. Thanks for posting this one, Susie, it will be one of my fave salads.

This was a nice change from the traditional layered salads. The colors were very pretty, and the broccoli slaw adds a lot of flavor.
