  1. Just a little too much sundried tomatoes. I would use 1/4 to 1/3 cup and maybe a little more vinegar. I took it to our family 4th of July cookout and it was liked by some and not by others. I will tweak it some the next time, because I do love sundried tomatoes. Carole
     
  2. Very good salad, although I thought it was a little heavy on the cherry tomatoes compared to the mozz, and I would have liked a little bit more dressing, as it tended to dry out as it chilled. Definitely one I would make again with slight changes. Thanks for posting!
