"My husband loved this salad, the only thing I recommend is to make sure you pour the dressing on the lettuce right before you serve it or the lettuce will become too soggy. I think next time I might ..." See morecool the dressing a bit more before tossing it with the lettuce, overall an interesting and good tasting salad."

"The dressing is PERFECT -- just the right touch of sweetness, not too vinegary. I'll definitely be making this again soon. Thanks very much...." See more"
