I made this tonight to go with my dinner. I didn't have fat free dressing so I used Olive Garden Italian dressing and it turned out really good. Even my 14 year old ate it and liked it "for vegetables". I will be making this again.

I've made this recipe many times over the years. I think the best to use is the fat-free Zesty Italian dressing. It's absolutely heavenly with fresh garden veggies.
