This hearty main dish salad makes a meal when served with hot, crusty bread and some fresh fruit and cheese. It has a robust quality that makes it a favorite.
This salad must be thoroughly chilled. You can assemble it several hours in advance and refrigerate. You may prefer to serve the salad with dressing on the side. Double the dressing so there will be ample for spooning over serving portions.
