I love Kraft Food & Family Magazine. The recipes are almost always good and easy to prepare. My family likes Chinese takeout occasionally but I decided to try my hand at it. When I saw this recipe I thought I would give it a try. Everybody loved it and even had seconds. Matt said he was taking the leftovers to work :)

2 Tbsp. soy sauce

We are going camping this weekend so I am looking for some good recipes to try. Our camping is not the usual hot dogs & hamburgers......... We usually have a theme for the Memorial Day Camp-out and this year it is recipes that use "pop or soda" in the recipes. I will report back what we used in another post. I did though come up with this recipe for a Picnik Layered Salad I am going to try for lunch one day. With some crusty bread this will be great.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups lettuce, shredded
- 1 (16 ounce) bag broccoli slaw mix
- 2 cups carrots, shredded
- 1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed
- 2 cups plum tomatoes, chopped ( I used the Flavorino tomatoes from Lou's)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (your favorite..fresh or bottled)
- 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
