Delicious salad. It so colourful and healthy, and really a meal in itself. I used half lettuce and half baby spinach, and a green capsicum. I only had 200 grams of cheese, which I cut it into batons -- I think 150 grams of cheese would probably be plenty. I used Recipe #421053 in the dressing. In future I will double the amount dressing because this does make a huge salad. Thanks Ricky for a great recipe.
