This is truly a great recipe but I had to give it 4 stars because after seeing the recipe photos I knew there was WAY to much mayo for me so I cut it in half. Except for this, which I suppose is a matter of personal preference, this was a real prize winner to me. My wife hates vinegar and said she wouldn't eat this salad before I made it. I made a double recipe to feed family coming over the next day and had to make more because my wife ate a bunch of it before it even had a chance to get in the fridge and said "you better make more of that or people are going to be disappointed".... yes, it was that good. :)

This was delicious! Didn't have fresh basil on hand so used dried and added broccoli florets too. Simple to make yet so flavorful! Can't wait to make it again!

My husband's favorite. I love this recipe..I add additional black olives and chicken, because the husband likes a heartier lunch. Some say there is too much mayo, but I find that it soaks in by the 2nd day. This couldn't be better.

Super tasty and very easy - definitely a great dish to make ahead of time as it gets tastier after a day of letting the flavors mix.

I liked the recipe, adding a few of my own things in order to make the required vegetable additions. The only thing negative I can say is watch out for the red wine vinegar. Mine was a little salty and I had to add some sugar to the salad to make up for it.

Great base recipe to experiment with!! I changed it up a little based on other people's recommendations. I used the whole cup of mayo, but added a few squirts of zesty Italian dressing, fresh chopped oregano instead of basil, and stirred in some grated Parmesan. I used Roma tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, and cucumbers for the veggies, then some chopped up salami. Delicious!! Thank you again :)

Not really a fan of this one. It did not keep well and I followed the instructions to a tee. As you can see from the other ratings, I usually agree with the rest. Not on this one.
