Garden-fresh veggies are a hit at community potlucks. I carry the dressing in a mason jar to add just before serving. — Jeanette Hildebrand, Stafford, Kansas

    I have made this salad a couple of different times and I love it. It has a few vegetables that most other salads do not have. I make it and eat it over the course of the next few days.
