THIS RECIPE came from a cookbook compiled by the women of our church in my hometown of Chico, California. It's pretty and tasty. Best of all, it can be put together a couple of hours before serving. When it's time, a simple toss and it's ready. -Cathee Bethel, Philomath, Oregon

For a more flavorful dressing, use a balsamic vinaigrette or a red wine vinaigrette instead of the ranch dressing.
To add some extra crunch to the salad, add some chopped walnuts or almonds.
