This was a family favorite main dish lunch during Roswell, NM summers.
Thick salad with heady flavor. Make it the night before. Serve in the heat
of the day. Back then we used regular or low fat products. The new fatfree
cheese are just as good. The cheesy dressing permeates the vegetables; not
sure if we eat the salad or inhale it. Always a winner at parties, people
wanted to know how much blue cheese we used. Pat Hanneman
