Introduction

I LOVE this salad. Mom used to make this ALL the time growing up, and DANG it's good. What I love is that the dressing can be adjusted depending on your tastes, and it's great for vegetarians and meat-eaters. Also, AWESOME for pot-lucks, because it works as a main course or a side dish, and it's better the longer it sits. I LOVE this salad.
