Made this for a staff luncheon and it was a hit! Loved the dressing recipe! There was a lot of ingredients to prepare but worth it in the end.

So good! My family loved this salad. I used 4 oz olive oil instead of sour cream in the dressing and roasted thicker slices of onion (along with strips of red and yellow pepper). Otherwise made just as written. Thanks for this recipe. Will be making it again.

I I followed the recipe exactly as written. This salad was a big hit with both my husband and me. Thank you for this great recipe!

So easy and delicious! Will be making this again soon!!
