lovely easy salad! dont really know what Baby greens are, but assumed it was a lettuce mix, so I threw in a handful :) used lemon juice, cashews, and left out the cilantro.
I used a generic salad dressing, and served crisp noodles and the sesame seeds on the side.
made for Aussie swap, april 2011

This was a very good salad. I loved the ease of the recipe and the combination of veggies. I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken. The only thing I would change is the dressing. I used a store-bought Asian dressing (with sesame) and it was just too heavy for the salad and overpowered the flavor.

What a great salad! I love the cilantro in it, it "happies up" the whole salad with bright flavor. For the dressing, I used Fat Free Asian Salad Dressing, replacing the sugar with Splenda. And the only change I made to the salad recipe was that I omitted the nuts. Made for National Diabetes Month 11/10. Thanks for sharing Debbwl!
(Forgot to add that I used green bell pepper instead of red as the red ones are going for a small fortune in my local grocery for some odd reason!)
