For extra flavor, marinate the sliced mushrooms in a little of the Italian dressing for about 30 minutes before adding them to the salad. Feel free to substitute any vegetables you like based on what's in season or your personal preference. Bell peppers, carrots, or celery would all be great additions. To make this salad ahead of time, combine all the vegetables in the bowl, but wait to add the dressing and eggs until just before serving to prevent the salad from becoming soggy. If you don't have melba toast on hand, you can use fat-free croutons or even some toasted pita bread.
