This salad was served tonight as our main dish. It was easy to make, colorful, flavorful and it's healthy, too. Most of the ingredients were either from the farmer's market, our CSA box; the mint was from the garden; used small white onions with the green tops, Bandon medium cheddar cheese from Bandon, OR. I used a fresh heirloom tomato and the dressing was thinned with a few tablespoons of buttermilk. I had a leftover potato from last night's dinner and it made it that much quicker to prepare today. Served with Recipe #249216. Reviewed for Veg Tag/July.

This made us fly as high as kite! Just so dang-gone fresh and so good in every single bite. The only change I made was I thought I had sun-dried tomatoes, but alas, did not. So I added some really nifty fresh tomatoes, and just had ball devouring it. The dressing is a win-win, so good I could of lapped that up, however, as they say, that's a whole other story. Thanks, PAC baby! PAC 2011

I/we really loved this salad. I made as directed but added some radishes just because I had them. We had grilled some steaks and this was all I needed to round out the meal - starch & veg all in one. This is a keeper for sure! Thanks so much for posting. Made on behalf of the Looney Spoon Phoodies - ZWT6

Really a lovely salad. It was perfect with tonight's roast beef. Used a mild cheddar and fresh tomato's. Everyone loved the dressing.

The first bite of this already gave rave reviews! What a lovely salad - and so easy to make. Wonderful dish for a hot summer day, I'll make this again often. As the cheese wasn't specified, I thought feta would make a good match with the dried tomatoes, and it really did. Will try other cheese next time, too. Thanks for sharing :)<br/>Made for ZWT 8 / Great Britain for the Lively Lemon Lovelies
