Use your favorite dressing. Remember it is best to put your dressing into a small container, and dip your bites in it. This way you don't drown the salad and consume a lot less calories from the dressing. This dish is excellent to serve for lunch or dinner, parties and get togethers. It is a healthier choice and is great during those hot days of summer when you don't want to heat up the kitchen or stand over a hot grill.
