This is a delightful vegetable salad that's marinated with an oil-and-vinegar salad dressing.
Wonderful salad! My husband had a bowl of it before it had even gone into the fridge to marinate and declared it delicious. I couldn't find my balsamic vinegar so I used red wine vinegar instead. It was even better the next day. I will definitely bring this to summer picnics and potlucks. Next time I make it, which will be very soon, I'll use the balsamic and perhaps a touch of freshly ground pepper. Thanks for a great recipe.

My husband and I thought this was GREAT! I am not a big fan of tomatoes, so I only used 1/2 what the recipe called for and doubled the cucumber, which I love. Easy recipe to put in whatever you like.
Good...this was the base idea and I made changes which turned out well. Used only 1 green pepper (all I had), zuchinni instead of cucumber, 1 tomato, and 1/2 REGULAR onion; marble cheddar cheese instead of monterey jack (again didn't have it). Did not have italian dressing mix, so I used a garlic balsamic vinegar that was hanging around in the fridge, 1/8 cup of it and 1/8 cup of the vinegar, and that was great. But any store-bought, liquid italian dressing would work great too. Everyone liked it!
Wonderful salad! I thought at first it was a summer recipe, but actually looks fit for winter, too (lots of red and green.) Flavor is great! Husband and I both love it. We will definately make it again...might add pepperoni next time.. Thank you!!
I am snacking on the leftovers of this WONDERFUL salad, as "we speak" - my "celebrity" and family company yesterday enjoyed it immensely. The only change I made was to add red, orange and yellow peppers to the green one which of course, made for an extremely colorful presentation. The taste was so fresh - wonderful recipe - thank you so much.
YUMMMMM! I love this salad! Of course, I reduced the red onion by at least 1/2 because it was too strong 1st time. It's great for summer get-togethers!
This is pretty good. It's a great way to use up veggies. I made it as a side dish for club sandwiches.
Very good and very easy to improvise to accomodate whatever is in the fridge. I used crumbled bleu cheese rather than shredded cheese and imagine that feta would be good as well. Easy and tasty, what more could you ask for?

Good, but not great.
Garden Delight Haiku: "Wavered on my score. Closer to a 3.5. Thought it was okay." I skipped the monterey jack cheese all-together, and served this alongside a bowl of feta for anybody wanting a sprinkle - I was surprised that none of my party guests were interested in trying this, and one finally fessed up that it was the celery that put him off. W/ the time spent chopping, and letting it "marinate" longer in the fridge for the flavors to meld, I don't know if it'd be worth making again, but I actually enjoyed mixing the leftovers w/ romaine lettuce as an actual salad, since the vinegars and dressing mix jived really well that way.
