Definitly a very health salad!! I just love salads, could practicly live on them. I didn't change anything in this salad, for the exception that just add in some red onions sliced into rings, just to give it a little more colour. This is a keeper in my book, thanks for posting.

Very good! Healthy too! I made double the dressing because it didn't seem like enough and it was still great!

This was a huge hit!!! Absolutely delicious! I made this early in the afternoon and put all the veggies (except the green leafies) in the dressing to marinate. Then added the spinach & rocket before serving. Refreshing the veggies in ice water made them bright green and beautiful! This is a keeper!
