Great salad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Thought this was excellent. Made it as a side for lasagna instead of the regular caesar that I usually make. Was a huge hit... with my guests and was very easy. I left out the kidney beans just because the rest of the meal was very heavy and added a bit more honey to the dressing than was called for. Will definitely make again.Read more

Really good, and with a few revisions
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

It was a great salad. The dressing was a little sharp so I added one more tsp of honey, a little more olive oil, quite a bit... of pepper. To the body of the salad, I added a can of black olives and 1/2 cup grated parmesan. The salad received rave reviews at a beach bbq birthday party. It fed 22 people, many had seconds and thirds of it.Read more

Great!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I left out the garbanzo and kidney beans, but otherwise a very good salad. When I first tasted the dressing by itself, I... thought it was way too sour, but after I tossed with the rest of the ingredients, it was fine. I guess the salami and provolone tempered the sourness. Will be making this again.Read more

Very tasty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

A light salad to go with a heavier Italian meal. I really enjoyed the salami and provolone in the salad. The dressing was a... little bland, so next time I'll try adding some minced garlic. I made it for friends and they raved over it, "I can't stop eating this salad!"Read more
