This is a great recipe to have around when you’re looking for something easy on a summer day. I suggest Greek olives instead of those tasteless black things you get out a can. They add some extra flavor on top of the Italian dressing. This is a dish that keeps getting better every time you take it out of the fridge for leftovers. It can be thrown together in minutes or you can get really fancy and cut the veggies in interesting ways for an impressive presentation.
