Monster Salad

I don’t know what to call this, but it’s the salad that my husband makes for us almost every weeknight, and it’s better than any salads I’ve had anywhere. I think the secret is all the stuff that’s in there and the home made dressing. Make it (especially the wet seasoning) right before eating so it doesn’t get mushy.
