This is a great healthy salad ~ We all loved this one! -
Great Salad! I added a couple tablespoons of pineapple juice to the marinade. I grilled the chicken instead of using the microwave and it was delicious! The dressing was perfectly proportioned and wet the greens without stealing the show. Thanks Paula!!! -
A nice filling salad. A good combination of sweet and savory. I added grape tomatoes because I needed more color in my salad. I also added pineapple juice to the dressing. Delicious. -
Thanks I just finished my light refreshing lunch. I grilled the chicken breast just because I think there more flavor that way. I used my home grown greens. And I added some pineapple juice to the dressing.I topped it with some sunflower seeds. My mounth still tastes good from it.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
