If I make this for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night will it be okay to go ahead and make tonight and refrigerate and till tomorrow
Very tasty and a great addition to a meat and potatoes meal or for a picnic if you use the italian dressing!
I've been making something similar for years. Fresh and delicious! I add zucchini slices and small chunks of mozzarella cheese, then top with fresh basil when ready to serve. Thank you for a reminder.
I used 1 pint grape tomatoes which I cut in wedges, 1 shallot, thinly sliced, as I did not have a red onion available and 1/3 to 1/2 cup of prepared Italian dressing. I LOVED this recipe! It's a keeper!
We love this recipe! So easy, economical and looks great, as well. I can make it ahead and keep in refrigerator and our guests enjoy it . I have to peel the cucumber because it causes acid in my tummy. Blue's Mom
I made without the onion and was awesome. Everyone loved it!!!
I make them all the time. However, much better with extra virgin olive oil and a splash of white wine vinegar. Finish with sea salt and fresh ground pepper and a sprinkle of sugar to taste. The dressing is so good and fresh you will want to drink it!
Add some feta to this !
This is the way we've made salads for the last hundred years and it's a great "go to" salad but truly just a regular salad.. nothing special "Italian" about it.
I use to work for a restaurant that made this but they added green peppers to it also. It was always gone at the end of the night. I have made that way for potlucks now and everyone loves it.
