This is a tasty main dish salad. It is quick and easy to prepare. It would be good with other protein such as fish or beef as well. The creamy Italian dressing is optional. Like they say: "Happy wife, happy life." I included it because my wife is not that fond of vinegar and oil Italian dressing. I served the salad with sourdough bread.
For a wine I chose a 2011 Fenestra Lodi Graciano. Graciano is not common in the United States but Lodi has some old vine acreage that Fenestra has access to. This grape varietal originally came from the Rioja region of Spain. It has aromas of cranberry, cherry and spice. It is full bodied with flavors of plum, cherry and pepper.
