So easy and delicious! I even added some extras: small bunch of broccoli, 1 thickly shredded carrot (the side of the shredder you never use), freshly shredded parmesan cheese, and I replaced a small handful of black olives with Greek kalamata olives.

This salad went over very, very well at a potluck yesterday. Only a small amount was left, and one lady asked to take it home!The salad was so easy to make. I left out the onion, because we don't really enjoy raw onion in recipes, and I used homemade lowfat Italian dressing. Really delicious and easy. I will be making this again!

I made this with fat free Italian dressing. It is very refreshing! Thanks for sharing!
