Pizza Salad with Tomato Vinaigrette
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
YIELD: 10-1/2 cups salad plus 3/4 cup leftover dressing.
Many of the ingredients in a deluxe pizza go into this no-hassle salad. Feel free to substitute pepperoni for the Canadian bacon. The dressing is great on other salads, too.—Wendy Nickel, Kiester, MN
