This wasn't bad. I left out the broccoli (I don't care for it in salads) and used "light" Alfredo sauce to lighten it up some. But I agree with another reviewer who said her husband liked it better hot. Since this was an alfredo-based salad and not salad dressing or oil-based, I just couldn't stomach it cold. Actually I think it would be quite good dumped into a casserole and baked with parmesan cheese on top.

This was a huge hit with my family! I did blend the peppers with the alfredo. Also, I couldn't find mexi-corn anywhere! I tried four different stores! So I ended up cooking some regular canned corn with chopped bell peppers (red, yellow, and gree), and some onion. Wonderful!
