Great salad. I've made it twice now and it was perfect each time. It's simple, low fat and fresh. I made it exactly as specified with the exception of topping each serving with a little shaved Parmigiano Reggiano.
Tricolor Salad
Here's a great make-ahead trick for this simple, colorful salad: A couple of hours before dinner, pour the prepared dressing into the bottom of the serving bowl, and assemble the salad greens on top. When you bring the salad to the table, all you need to do is toss--and you won't have soggy greens.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 1 cup)
