Notes: Thank goodness I cut this recipe from the Milwaukee Journal when it was highlighting favorite recipes from popular restaurants. (this one was Joey Buona’s Pizzeria Grill on Water St). It is my go-to recipe whenever I’m asked to “bring a salad” and a favorite at family gatherings. It’s easily adjusted for large or small gatherings and, best of all, can be made ahead, i.e., I prepare all the components and line them on the perimeter of the serving bowl with lettuce. A quick toss at serving time, and you are ready to go.
Note: Recipe for vinaigrette makes a generous 2 cups. Can be halved or stored for later use.
