That does sound good for a hot day's lunch. I have some cukes but no
radish. However, I picked the first ripe tomato in the garden today,
and there's a couple that should be ready tomorrow so I might add them
in place of the radish.

every Kraft dressing I saw in store had high fructose corn syrup so check
that label...
even ones that weren't supposed to be sweet..

I made a big tuna salad tonight. I bought the kind that I can eat because
Angela didn't want any. It contains peas in the broth so she can't have it.
I used plenty of chopped vegetables. Green onions, celery, Roma tomatoes,
red pepper and parsley. Added a couple of glugs of olive oil and plenty of
squirts of lemon juice. Also salt and pepper.

Had I been making it for Angela, I would have used only green onion, celery
and a ton of cucumber as the vegetables. She loves cucumber!

That's sooo unfair! This past Sat. we finally had a day that was about 70
degrees. It is back to somewhat chilly again and rainy. Not enough warmth
to grow anything yet, but over the weekend my neighbor put up one of those
topsy turvy tomato thingies.

I can't remember the exact name. I think it might be organic. Has extra
virgin olive oil in it. No HFCS and no soybean oil. It's not available
everywhere though. Only a few stores around here carry it. I think there
are three varieties. I get the Italian one for pasta salad. Very good and
I am picky about dressings. Don't like most of them.

I had a Greek salad at a Greek restaurant a while back and there was a
creamy, light brown dressing on it. I have produced similar from adding
balsamic vinegar to mayo and mixing well. I think it would go well with this
recipe as well.

LOL Julie, I know, it has been cooler than normal here as well. This
won't be a good tomato year I don't think. It was 50F last night
here.

The plants have lots of flowers, but the fruit won't set. The
heirloom varieties seem to be the worst. The Romas have a few small
green fruits. It is the Early Girl that is producing -- it has a
shorter growing season and can set fruit at lower nighttime temps
supposedly.

On the other hand, I had a bumper crop of greens this year. I
actually got tired of eating greens.

Well, since it's a Kraft recipe, I imagine that would be their
recommendation, however I don't use bottled dressing, I make my own, as I'm
sure most here do.

I'm sure it would.

Cheri

I make a awesome dressing using real mayo..a good balsamic...sesame oil and
splenda

I vary it with a dash hot sauce or onion and garlic season if no actual
onion or garlic in the salad.

its very good

Tabasco or any sauce made with peppers and vinegar

I saw a show on how it is made..its like making wine..very cool...they
take old whiskey barrels and put the jalapeno mash into them with vinegar
and seal top with salt and let ferment for months .

Oh sometimes I add mustard..each small change effects the taste but all is
delicious!

I like it on meat and if you add soy sauce and more sesame and less mayo it's
a yummy asian sauce.
