Recipe Reviews
Yummy and simple to make, very light and healthy, would recommend.
Very tasty, brought it to work for lunch since it takes no time at all to make.
I didn't bother adding the olives since they aren't really my thing but without them everything tasted fine.
Vegan, Italian and healthy, what more could you ask for? I love this lemon vinaigrette salad.
I've never made or tried any type of Italian salads before this one and I'm SHOOK, it taste so good.
Not very filling it's extremely flavorful though.
Heaven on earth, one of me and my husbands favorite italian dishes.
Served this before dinner which was a nice pork tenderloin and malta goya.
This salad is the BOMB I saw the photo had it with some bread so I baked me some Cheesy garlic bread on the side.
Best Italian salad i've ever had in my life, can't believe it took me only 5 minutes to make this salad.
The salad is actually quite good just like the tomato caprese salad.
When I saw this I thought for sure it would not be enough but all the ingridents blended together actually make it very filling.
Bookmarked this page because all the recipes are classics and super tasty.
Great recipe going to eat this twice every week for keep my healthy diet going.
I'm so happy to see more vegan recipes coming out on this site, 5 stars from me.
The ingridents are easy to come by and very affordable plus the salad is tasty, thanks fo sharing.
The lemon juice really helps make this salad slightly zesty which is why it's one of the top ones on my list, love it.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing recipe!
