Excellent salad! I picked up some red and yellow new potatoes and yellow cherry tomatoes at the farmer's market this weekend and along with leftover chicken from a deli rotisserie chicken (breasts only), I had everything to make this except anchovies. I added a dash of Worcestershire sauce in place of the anchovy (probably could have used more). The directions mentioned yogurt but it wasn't in the ingredient list so I searched online for the original Eating Well recipe and found it should be 1/3 cup nonfat plain yogurt (I used Greek yogurt.) I added an extra handful of tomatoes because they were so good with this :) I thought it could use a little extra salt but that could be a result of not using the anchovy. Thanks for sharing Kitty!Reply
