My new favorite buffet salad! This was so easy, beautiful and delicious. I had no scallions I used just a little chopped vidalia onion along with some chopped cucumber - enough to give it a "layer" without adding too much onion flavor, and I ended up omitting the bacon simply because I forgot to cook it. I have no problem with bottled ranch dressing, however I used the Herbed Buttermilk Garlic and Parmesan Dressing from this site and it was amazing on this salad - perfect match for the four-cheese tortellini I used, and the fresh parmesan more than made up for the missing bacon. Thanks for sharing this great salad recipe! Will make this many, many times!

Best salad I ever had! Wonderful for showers. For a baby shower, we added some raisins, grapes and maddarin orange slices. You wouldn't believe how nice they went with ranch dressing. In the fall it's nice to sprinkle whole fresh cranberries. For this salad, you can go wild with your imagination. Thank you for sharing. You gave a beautiful presentation.

This will be a new addition to summer salad collection. Just served to 12 family members for first and got great reviews. Very tasty and easy. Next time will possibly try real bacon bits from the jar to save time. Used Ranch dressing from the produce section. A keeper.

Nice change of pace from 7 Layer Salad. With the tortellini added it is a meal in itself.

The whole family loved it. We used it as a one-dish meal for dinner. I doubled the recipe and used 1/2 the recommended dressing and it was plenty! Also used regular tomatoes in place of cherry and that worked great too. Very tasty and filling.

Tasty salad. However, I didn't use 6 cups of spinach as that seemed a bit excessive. I followed the recipe, but I did add an entire package of crumbled bacon. Next time around I would also add more tortellini.

Thought this was good, at least something a bit different to take to the pot luck. I made the Herbed Buttermilk Garlic & Parm. Dressing as suggested. I poured the dressing over top and let it sit over night.

This salad is so filling it is a meal in itself. I added 1/2 a rotisserie chicken, bacon bits and a few egg slices to the recipe. I tossed the salad to spread the good stuff around -- yum.
