EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Make this salad a few hours early or the night before.

Use the deli or supermarket salad bar to make quick work of the vegetables. You can pick up all of them in one stop.

For a leaner summer salad, use reduced-fat or fat-free mayonnaise and turkey bacon.

I made this salad for Mother's day dinner and my family absolutely loved it. I have been asked to bring it to 2 other picnics since then and someone always requests the recipe. Easy to make, pretty presentation, and delicious!
