Introduction

I love the versatility of this salad,and the ease in making it a delicious side dish,or meal.My children are grown but they still ask for this dish at family gatherings.It's great for picnics because it is not mayonaise based.I hope you and your family enjoy it as much as us.

    This is simple to make as is, or you could make your own dressing. There are many variations possible. You could also wrap it in lettuce, put it on toasted bread, stuff it in shells. It would be great for picnics, potlucks, family get-togethers. - 8/7/19

    I made this salad by adding some leftover chicken breast then also added some egg noodles. Great way of using up leftovers in the fridge. I used Raspberry and White Balsamic dressing and it gave the salad a great taste. Will make it again and use French dressing I have some in the fridge as well. - 2/9/18

    My mouth started watering just seeing this recipe. I'm not kidding.
    I believe this is the best thing to serve with chicken (steamed or baked).
    Thank you for providing this lower fat version. Woo Hoo!
