I have, today, another new recipe that we recently enjoyed. I love a salad for dinner -- one big bowl and you're done. Most salads aren't hearty enough for a supper, though. And most wouldn't entice my kids. But this one did. The cheese, pepperoni and bread filled us up (at least until snack time), and the flavors of pizza made it an all-thumbs-up recipe. Of course, college boy wasn't home and he wouldn't have touched it. But everyone else loved it. I made this recipe just as it was posted at Mennonite Girls, except I used my house cheater dressing. That's half Marzetti's Sweet Italian -- from the produce department -- and half Girard's Olde Venice. Both I can get at my grocer. I also threw in a handful of pepperoncini -- we like it spicy!
