This salad is SO good, but it tastes like it’s so bad. In other words, it doesn’t feel like I’m dieting when I eat this salad. The dressing is so creamy and unlike most “light” dressings, and it keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days.

Notes from Christy:
I don’t like olives, so I leave them out. Sometimes I’ll throw in a couple of croutons in place, but I’m not sure how it affects the points. I’m also not a huge fan of bell peppers, so I usually leave those out, or give them to my husband.
On occasion, I’ll eat 2 servings of this salad with some diced chicken breast tossed in and call it lunch or dinner.
