Swiss Cheese Salad image

I entered this recipe that I created myself in a local cooking contest in 1980 - it took first prize! The salad complements any main dish and is also good for picnics or potlucks...just take the lettuce along in a plastic bag or container and toss with the cheese and vegetable mixture when you arrive.

I'm glad I found this recipe! I'm gluten-free, and it's hard to find good salad recipes that are also gluten-free. This salad was delicious, and I didn't miss the gluten at all.

I'm always looking for healthy and delicious recipes, and this salad definitely fits the bill. It's packed with fresh veggies and lean protein, and the dressing is made with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, which makes it a healthier option.
