I really liked this salad, but when I looked at the recipe it seemed like it needed something more than just lettuce and fruit. So when I made this for a main dish for dinner the other night, I used mandrin oranges, added slivered almonds, and half a sliced chicken breast on top. Turned out great. We also ate it with grilled pita bread. I wasn't sure about the dressing at first, but it came out really good. My husband insisted we add it to our collection.

I've never made a cooked salad dressing and I was very pleased with the result. I threw the mix into my Magic Bullet to made the dressing smoother and prepared the salad as directed. Next time I would cut the dressing in half. It made far more dressing than we needed for one salad. For the lettuce I used baby spinach and mixed baby greens. Made for ZWT8

This is yummy!! It just had a slightly eggy taste though and the amount of dressing was too much or too sweet for the amount of fruit and vegtables. I used white vinegar, vindalia onion, fresh sliced strawberries, plus the rest of the ingredients. I might make this again cutting the sugar down a bit and maybe using less dressing.
