for my Creamy salad using ranch dressing,  frozen peas and carrots, can mushrooms, can chicken, bacon bits, diced ham, diced left over pork lion,  and even California blend veggies frozen... boiled eggs can veggies will do in a pinch. Add any and as many as you like.

for my more zesty salads, add Italian dressing any kind any flavor never have the same one twice, add mushrooms olives, Parmesan cheese, boiled eggs can chicken , diced pork, grilled chicken or steak diced, fresh cauliflower, broccoli, carrots diced, red onion rings, peppers, beets rinsed well and drained, artichokes canned, and mozzarella the list goes on add as many as you like.

the dressing just holds everything together and you can add spices,  sprinkle garlic, cilantro, pepper, Italian seasonings, get creative and get festive.
