Great way to get those servings of vegetables the easy and enjoyable way-in a great tasting salad. I used Splenda instead of sugar, so I didn't have to heat the dressing very long. I served this in a bed of lettuce for a delicious, different salad.

Hi! Made your marinated salad and it is so-ooo good. I also plan on using your dressing for 'Green Bean Salad', which is one of my favorites. I used a wee less sugar (personal taste), and it is easy and quick to put together. Thanks, Kittencal for a great recipe! M. Joan

I enjoyed this salad! It's a great way to get your veggies! Mild flavor, great taste. Thank you Kitten! I chose not to use the garlic powder.
