All credit for this salad goes to Jessica Washburn's blog. http://www.these-are-the-days.com/ I find so many creative ideas and yummy recipes from this amazing gal. I made this salad for my family and we all loved it. I think my favorite thing about this salad was the dressing. I am kind of sick of ranch and Italian and raspberry whatever. Instead, this salad's dressing is so simple to make and is frosted right on top of the salad. The entire salad is left to chill in the refrigerator and it comes out so crisp and perfect. I made this salad in the morning and we enjoyed it that evening.
I am famous for stealing web pictures, but I always give credit, so I hope I am not doing anything illegal or don't offend. This picture was taken from Jessica's blog. I did not have an amazing serving dish for a blog worthy picture. I instead used a simple clear serving bowl.
