What an easy and delicious side dish, or you can use as a main dish! Made this as I had everything on hand and it was a big hit! Will be making this again and great for potlucks too!

I prepared this salad tonight and we loved it. I used the Ranch and Bacon flavor of Suddenly Salad and added a sliced green onion and one celery stalk, chopped. . It had a nice fresh taste and not an artificial taste that so often accompanies these mixes. I will definitely prepare this recipe again. Both hubby and I cleaned our plates.Volunteer Field Editor

This was good and easy to prepare. But I did have a hard time finding the creamy parmesan mix. I used the Caeasar mix instead and prepared it using the "creamy" directions on the back of the box.
