YUMMO and SOOOO easy!!! I didn’t have any tomatoes so I omitted them but my neighbor brought over some fresh grown cucumbers and they were GREAT in it! I used my Tupperware Quick Chef to get the onions minced well and used a bottle of Zesty Italian. I have a lot of leftovers so tomorrow Im gonna toss some parmesan on it as well…. definately a keeper and I’ll be using this recipe when we go to bbqs and family gatherings! Thanks so much Jennieanne!!!
this was GOOD. used bowtie pasta its what i had here,sun dried tomato vinegrette, and i added a can of chicken to bulk it up for lunch.
Very tasty. I added diced green pepper, parmesan cheese, and threw in some dried Italian seasoning which gave it extra flavor. Use a strong Italin dressing such as WishBone brand instead of a lite or free dressing as these don’t have as much flavor.
I have made this salad close to 40 years now and it’s quick and easy always taste great. Pretty basic. I often add a bag of mixed frozen veggies to it along with diced celery. Try chopped ham and/or turkey in it and you have a complete meal. Don’t be afraid to experiment with this recipe. You’ll never be disappointed. We never have. Great sumertime meal.
