Layered Summer Salad image

A little fresh basil in the dressing brings this make-ahead salad up-to-date. Substitute torn romaine lettuce for the spinach, if you like. For a dramatic presentation, serve this salad in a clear glass bowl. The salad must refrigerate for 5 hours, which is included in preparation time. This recipe is by Kraft.

This salad is way too expensive. I can get a similar salad at the grocery store for half the price.

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I would add some more herbs or spices to give it more flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of bell peppers, but I love the way they add a little sweetness to this salad.

This salad is so versatile. I've added grilled chicken, shrimp, and even tofu to it, and it's always delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few odds and ends in my fridge, and this salad is a great way to use them up.

The dressing is the star of this salad. It's light and flavorful, with just the right amount of tang. I could drink it straight from the bottle!

This layered summer salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of fresh vegetables, tangy dressing, and crunchy nuts was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again soon.
