My only complaint is that the recipe made a lot of salad. I had leftovers for days, which is great, but it would be nice to have a smaller recipe for a smaller gathering.

I wasn't sure about the Thousand Island dressing at first, but it actually worked really well with the other flavors in the salad. It added a nice tangy sweetness.
