Made some changes
pgails47 - April 29, 2007 08:24:10 AM PSTEnjoyed the original salad, but made some changes the second time around. I didn't cook the asparagus- instead I used small fresh asparagus. Also I added some fresh herbs from the garden. The salad was outstanding. The kraft dressing was great. I use the dressing on everything including fish and beef dishes.

Colorful Beautiful Tasty Salad(the kids dont have to know its healthy,too!)
KC BarbieQ - April 29, 2007 07:58:13 AM PSTAsparagus and tomatoes are lovely together, and the kids went for it, since I told them it had cheese in it. Delightful and a change from the humdrum iceberg lettuce salads. Tangy sauce, excellent choice!

healthy...yeah...unless we use the wrong ingredients
sifubrentlance - April 29, 2007 09:08:05 AM PSTVegetables are always great! I would think that one should cook his/her own chicken. Maybe turn your left-over grilled or baked chicken into the key protein in this salad. Try to avoid the canned products that are loaded with preservatives (sodium-based products) if possible. I think you'll get enough sodium in the vegetables and dressing without adding any from the protein source. While cheese makes everything better in my opinion, we should try to remember that some cheeses are healthier than others. Maybe use a shredded cheese blend. I tend to use less cheese when I do that. I sometimes over-do it when I use the cubes....just have to watch that whole portion size thing..so I know what I am eating...
I think this is a wonderful salad idea and a break from the ordinary. My girlfriend is an nutritionist and good at eating healthy, so I'd like to thank her for helping me make better food choices and noticing things inside recipes.9 of 10 found this review helpful.

Very tasty!
Little A - April 29, 2007 09:25:44 AM PSTGosh, the world has turned so health-obsessed and crazy that even Kraft's salad recipes aren't safe from complaints anymore. If it's helping ANYONE -parents, kids, teens, older folks, etc-, steer clear of OTHER unhealthy foods, whether from a fast food joint or those boxes of Twinkies sitting in one's cupboard, then Kraft is doing its job. Not sure when I missed the memo, but I never thought an OUNCE of cheese cubes was a bad thing. And 2 tablespoons of dressing isn't going to give you or your child a heart attack.You health nuts need to lighten up, no pun intended.
