100% would make again

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

Definitely one of the best salads I have ever made. Everyone in my family LOVES this salad and I can't wait for summer to make it again - will probably have it around the holidays!

I was in charge of getting a church dinner together and the lady we were honoring loves salads. So I went to Taste of Home to look for new salads for people to bring. Out of the 3 that was taken (taco salad, blt macaroni sald and this one) "that good salad" was completely eaten and good comments were made about it. Cant say the same about the other 2 but this one really was very good.

GREAT salad. Easy to make and all the ingredients and dressing work together so well. It's amazing because the salad is actually better than the list of ingredients!

EVERYBODY absolutely loves this salad. It has taken the place of a salad my family made at gatherings for 30 years.

If I need a real quickie, I just use lettuce, parmesan, tomatoes and croutons w/ the dressing over top. Nothing can ruin this salad. I have been making it for a long time and now I am using it in a wedding for 300 people! It is the absloute best!!!
