I first tried this salad when I bought it in my supermarket's deli. I liked it so much that I played around with it until I managed to duplicate it. You can use regular dressing or the low-fat or fat-free versions if you like. I like it best with the Sweet Onion (sometimes called Sweet Vidalia Onion) dressing. Just look for it in the salad dressing aisle.
