Yesterday I attended a Pampered Chef party. We had a fantastic salad. Unfortunately, the hostess didn't have recipes printed off for us to take away. It had a wonderful dressing which she shared the ingredients to. I never got the proportions so, I made this salad up today and "tried" to recreate yesterday's dressing for the salad to take to my Mom's house for dinner and was ecstatic about the outcome. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! We ate this with my Mom's grilled chicken which she marianates in Good Season's Italian Salad dressing. If you're not having chicken on the side, chopped grilled chicken is a great addtion to the salad!DRESSING INGREDIENTS:
