I was making this to serve as a side dish to go with BBQ ribs so left out the salami and pepperoni. I thinly sliced the veggies I selected on a mandoline. I used a little over half of the dressing mix before chilling and stirred the rest in right before serving. We enjoyed the salad. Thank you for sharing your recipe! -
Wow - everything that I LOVE, although not very diet friendly! -
This salad was delicious and tremendously easy. I was serving an older crowd and did not use any of the herbs and spices recommended, but did use a Zesty Italian dressing......next time I will use the extras for a bit more zip. Served it at room temperature so the flavours were all there.....thanks for a great recipe.
