    And here I thought I invented this recipe!! I use fat free peppercorn ranch dressing and believe it or not, montreal steak spice for seasoning. Awesome, easy salad without lettuce!!! - 7/15/09

    very good and seems as tho you can change things around a bit and still not hurt the caloric intake much. I like the idea of fat-free yogurt (or maybe even sour cream?). Might crack some black peppercorns over it and maybe add some red onion and zucchini. I'm real big on throwing veggies into everyt - 7/15/09

    This recipe with some chopped sweet bell pepper is good. I also add some mustard seed, celery seed, poppy seed and sesame seed and a little bit of parsley flakes. - 2/14/09

    Sliced the cucumbers, instead and used FF Balsamic Viniagrette...then sprinkled with crumbled Brinza Cheese. (feta will work also). (Brinza is the Romanian version of Feta). - 6/5/08

    I used baslamic vinager low fat salad dressing instead of mayo. Let refrigerate over night to meld the flavors and it was awesome. Not my word but my daughters. They are picky eaters and have requested I make it again. - 6/4/08

    Great summertime side. I'd opted for a seasoned rice vinegar rather than the mayo for less calories. Would definitely make again! - 7/15/09

    Without mayo for me, as I don't like the stuff - low fat yoghurt or soured cream is a good alternative. - 6/3/08

    This is so easy, very tasty and goes great with smoked salmon or baked salom. I made my cucumber dressing to go with the salmon and it was all great! - 6/3/08

    I use FF Italian or FF Classic Caeser dressing, add some sliced black olives and a few feta crumbles. Little more fat but it's mostly good fat and oh so yummy! A favorite with my family and most of the ingredients come fresh from my garden. - 7/15/09

    This was pretty good, but next time I'll add less mayo. There was way too much and was very soupy. I also added a bit of grated carrot and some dijon mustard. - 7/28/08

    My family makes this all the time, but with rice wine vinegar and a drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil instead. Or sometimes we add some whole wheat Penne and use a light Italian dressing! - 6/3/08

    This was a really nice, creamy, light side dish for the burgers we had the other night. I accidentally used low-fat Miracle Whip instead of mayo, and when I make it next time I'll be sure to use mayo. The Miracle Whip just changed the flavor, and I think mayo would definitely be better! - 9/3/07

    This was good but it's a one day dish. If it sits more than a few hours the mayo turns all watery. I'll make it again. I will just make a smaller portion as not to have too much left over. Then I'll have soup instead of a salad. - 7/15/16

    of calories and great taste that fills you up.

    The tomatoes and cucumbers from my garden are over (too hot), but we enjoyed scads of them with nothing but at little salt. Maybe next year I'll fancy up a bit with all these good ideas. - 7/15/09
