Every time I eat at CPK, I have to have this salad! I love the tangy dressing, the fresh basil, the crispness of the ingredients. My husband got their cookbook for Christmas one year and I enjoy making it at home occasionally too!

Excellent salad. I made half a recipe and DH said it was the best salad ever. The dressing emulsified beautifully and the flavor is out of this world good. We will have this one often. Served with White Pizza or Pizza Blanca.

I made only the dressing from this recipe, and I thought it lacked something. I doctored it up a bit and it was o.k. Seeing how many great reviews this recipe has, I kept asking myself what went wrong. Thank you for the chance to make this recipe.

Really yummy and my husband can't wait for us to have it again. I did not have quite as much turkey (maybe had 2 cups) or tomatoes (had about 6 small tomatoes) but it was still a really good blend of flavors. I also used about 4 T of fresh parsley as I didn't have any dried parsley. When I made the dressing I reduced the oil to about 3/4 cup. When tasting the dressing alone, I thought it was going to be too mustard-y, but don't worry, once you add it to the whole salad, the flavors meld beautifully. This fed 3 adults very well (but keep in mind I had less meat), just served it with some crackers and wine for a dinner outside in the garden. Will definitely do again sometime soon.

This was really, really tasty. I added roasted red peppers to it, and loved it. Next time I'm going to try some artichoke hearts and banana pepper rings as well. The only thing I'd change about the recipe is to reduce the amount of olive oil in the dressing, it was a bit oily for my tastes. VERY VERY GOOD. Thanks for posting.
