Fresh toms were replaced by sun dried toms because toms this time of year are horrible. Bought gourmet Spanish olives at the "olive bar" in the natural food store-forgot which variety-something a bit different...?? Worked perfectly for a Spanish/Mediterranean/North African themed meal. Be sure to use fresh ingredients, especially the lettuce! We had a wonderful head of loose leaf lettuce from our CSA box to use for this salad. Quality ingredients make a big difference in taste and presentation. Reviewed for Veg Tag/April.

An outstanding salad. It is so light and refreshing. A mixture of spring greens with baby spinach was used for the greens. Fresh lemon juice is a must in the light and airy dressing. This was served with Maureen's Stuffed Peppers for a wonderful meal. Made for Diabetic Forums *Heart Healthy Eating*

A delicious and refreshing salad: loved the different lettuces with the baby spinach leaves and loved the lemony flavour in the dressing. :) The only changes I made were to use kalalmata olives instead of green olives (a personal taste preference) and to add some minced garlic to the dressing (something I add wherever I see an opportunity to do so). We thoroughly enjoyed this salad with Lazy-Day Overnight Lasagna. Thank you for sharing this recipe, Dreamer in Ontario. Made for Zaar Stars Tag.
