Many of the ingredients in a deluxe pizza go into this no-hassle salad. Feel free to substitute pepperoni for the Canadian bacon. The dressing is great on other salads, too.-Wendy Nickel, Kiester, MN

The salad was good, but I would have liked it better with more grilled veggies.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a sweeter vinaigrette.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled veggies. I used zucchini, bell peppers, and onions. The vinaigrette was simple to make and really brought the salad together.
