I made this salad for a girls luncheon and it was terrific, next time instead of the ranch dressing i am going to add salsa and sour cream.

This is such a simple, delicious, and nutritious meal. I didn't grill the peppers (threw them in fresh). Instead of chilli powder, I used fresh ground black pepper. Enjoy!

This was excellent; I also put the red onion on the bbq for a few minutes. Made a nice, light supper for my husband and myself.

My family and I had company over and they went on and on about how good a salad could be! They now make it as a meal for themselves!

This is a great salad to serve on the deck for lunch on the weekend. It certainly is a keeper for me to use all summer long.

This definately needs more spice. Also don't make it in the oven I think it would've been better on the BBQ. Too much lime though.
