Rave reviews! I omitted the basil, and subbed turkey pepperoni and quartered mini-mozzarella balls. The dressing seems to be the favorite component!

This is a great recipe and the dressing is really good! I have made it many times now in the last couple of years. Since I had good feedback the first time I made it, I stay with the exact recipe. Enjoy!

First of all, the dressing is amazing. The whole family (3 of us) pretty much demolished the whole bowl, and I made 1.5x the amount. I did add some extras like turkey pepperoni, danish ham and diced tomatoes. If I could best describe the taste I would say it tasted like an Italian hoagie without the bread. Simply fantastic.
