Submitted by Ms B.

I agree, this was a huge salad! I didn't have avocado so I cubed some lowfat cheese instead. I found the dressing to be a bit tangy too, but I think it probably goes with the territory of low-carb and not being able to offset that tang with sugars.

This is a longtime favorite of mine and you will not be hungry again for the rest of the day. A wonderful lunch!

This did not appeal to us. We like salads and we like tuna. This was a bit boring.

this is great! I made it as listed but substituted red pepper for the radishes. Delicious!

This is a huge salad and took 1/2 hour to eat. Very colorful and enticing, enjoyed the flavours but a bit on the tangy side.
