Another desert girl. Sometimes my friends from the east coast don't believe me when I say it is 110 out! This looks great for a nice hot day!

Love this recipe, it's snowing (again) here but even in cold weather it's nice to have something you don't have to bake, or cook. The dressing sounds really fantastic too.

MMM this looks great. We have "big salad supper" night about once a week and this will definitely be the one next time. My teenage sons love salad meals. Thanks so much
