When a friend shared this recipe, it had a fancy French name. Our children can never remember it, so they say, "Mom, please make 'that good salad'. Now our friends and neighbors request it for potluck dinners. —Betty Lamb, Orem, Utah

I added grilled chicken strips and made it a luncheon meal for several girlfriends. They raved about it! I frequently make the dressing and use on other salads and vegetables.

I have made this recipe at least 100 times! We love it and I get asked for the recipe often. Sometimes I don't have much and I will buy pre-cooked bacon which really helps me out. No one has ever suspected!;)

I made this as a side salad for the meal that I made for my folks, my sister and her two daughters. Out of all the things that I made, this was the dish that they all raved about. My niece even said that this could easily be ordered in a restaurant. I'm definitely making this one again.
