i took this to a fight party last night and it was a hit.  The dressing was flavorful without being overwhelming.  It was simple enough to go with the pizza we had, and both the kids and adults ate it.  It would be good with fresh mozz balls in it also I think. I didn't add tomatoes because we don't like them, and i didn't have them, but i think it would give the salad more color and make it prettier :o)
