Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    This is one of those dishes that actually tastes better the next day. Try making it the night before and top with nuts and bacon just before serving.
  • tip 2
    These types of salads usually benefit from a sweet component. Toss in raisins or dried cranberries for different spin.
