When I have guests coming over or a busy day ahead, I like to make this salad because I prepare it the day before.

Super easy. It's even better with Ken's Steakhouse Lite Cesar dressing. Make it the night before. Toss some banana peppers on there before serving. It's beautiful and is quite tasty. The bowl was clean after the party!
