For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding other vegetables such as zucchini, yellow squash, or olives. If you prefer a creamier dressing, you can substitute half of the fat-free Italian dressing with a light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt. This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavors will continue to develop over time.
