Or, if you feel like that won't give proper dressing marination to the veggies added after the fact, mix up the "community" portion of the salad, separate half into another container, and make one bowl his, one bowl hers! We do stuff like that when there are food preferences in our house. =) Also, what about some sweet peppers for another item?~**Dawn**~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06179560051128719637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9792137.post-41328110083670448252014-06-24T12:00:35.587-04:002014-06-24T12:00:35.587-04:00Ha, I've bought those "chopped" blac...Ha, I've bought those "chopped" black olives before and was surprised the first time I tried to drain them and nothing came out!

I tend to not wear my reading glasses in the grocery store, so half the time I come home with something I would not have bought, because I didn't read fine print on a label! I used to buy chopped olives for some recipes, sliced olives for others (like pizza) and then whole olives to just eat. These days, I just buy black olives and use my knife to cut or chop or slice them, LOL!<br /><br />I love pasta salad, but I rarely make it because we can't agree - I don't eat tomato and Tim doesn't eat cucumber! That leaves olives and cheese, and I never come up with other stuff, LOL!<br /> :)Stacy at Exceedingly Mundanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193142015462051142noreply@blogger.com
