In the heat of the summer, everyone is looking for a cold lunch option. This dish was served at a baby shower in July and our daughter wanted to reproduce it.
Notes
You can mix all the ingredients together except for the dressing the night before.
We like to have extra cheese and tomatoes for toppings when serving.
You can also use Cajun seasoning to spice up the dish a little.
