I wanted a quick and easy salad to make that tasted great. This salad fit the bill. I adored the larger quantity of walnuts. I made one change, using 1/2 mayo and 1/2 ranch dressing. Oh, and since I had fresh basil on hand I added some of that. And some chopped onion. And a little red and orange bell pepper. Great the way it's written and a great start for additions.
