Swiss Cheese Salad
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. + chilling
YIELD: 6-8 servings.
I entered this recipe that I created myself in a local cooking contest in 1980 - it took first prize! The salad complements any main dish and is also good for picnics or potlucks...just take the lettuce along in a plastic bag or container and toss with the cheese and vegetable mixture when you arrive.
