I thought I would like this, but I think the mix of a cold salad (lettuces) and the hot veggies just wasn't my thing. I really love the hot part of it and it would be great on rice or noodles - even with some of the dressing as a "glaze". I used bean sprouts, peppers, onions, and carrots as well as the broccoli as listed in the ingredients. Still - it was a nice change and it appears most people enjoy it! Thanks for posting! Made for the Gimme 5 tag game.

I loved this salad - it was a whole meal all in one delicious bowl, love the stir fry vegetables, and the addition of soy sauce to the italian dressing really put it over the top. Thanks for a great recipe, I will make this often.
