This made my human hungry! And she says that if you only want one serving at a time, you can make the dressing ahead of time, and just toss a single serving of the other ingredients together when you are hungry.
Oh yum, yum, I luffs ALL foodables (especially the ones I'm NOT allowed to have, hehe!)

Our humans definitely eat a lot of salads in the summer because it's too hot to cook!
Oh my goodness my friends. This recipe looks amazing! I want a bite right now :) Snorts and oinks. XOXO - Bacon
P.S. Hey, can you email me at baconthompson@gmail.com I would like to ask you something
YUMSTERS! My Mom made those "appreciative" sounds humans make when she read the ingredients.....this is probably on the official "TO DO" list!
Hugs, Sammy
That sounds pretty yummy, but Mom always has to leave the onions out. Her favorite is the macaroni salad she makes, with miniature shells, chopped sweet gherkins, sliced pimento green olives, celery, seasoning salt. juice from the pickles, mayo and topped with hard-boiled eggs. It is her original recipe, and now she wants some...but Dad has already shopped today. Mau and Allie send their love.

Oh yum...this sounds tasty! It might even 'purr-suade' me to actually make something. When it's this hot, my idea of a salad is a sprig of basil on a store-bought pizza! 🐾
That sounds great, I love feta.
This sounds delicious. Mom Paula misses pasta salads.
I love the recipe! Feta is a favourite hre in our house!
Sounds yummy to Jan. Not so much to us. :)
The mom says this salad looks yummy...she only wishes the dad-guy liked green beans.
