I love this salad at Cafe Zupas and this will make it so much easier to get! I made it tonight and it was really tasty. Its a lot of dressing so if you don't want so much of it, you could half it. I also only used a 1/3 c. sugar. That made it pretty tart but that was fine by me. Delicious, perfect for summer!

This recipe was great, but it’s missing a key ingredient to the actual zupas salad- apple slices. That’s the only thing I have added to my this recipe. Other than that t was alright.
