I thought this was very good! I think my dressing was a bit too bitter, which might have been because my garlic cloves were a little too large. I had to adjust the amount of oil. I took other reviewers advice and halved the salt. I also like a dijon in my dressing, so I added a teaspoon. All the ingredients went together well.

This could become one of my all time favorite meals! In short, it's a slad I'd reccomend to any/everyone, and would still enjoy preparing it for just simply yourself....cut in 1/2, mind you! during the last of the "summer" days...the leaves are already turning, somewhat due to the drought, and the "night bugs" are singing a different song. I could eat this for breakfast even! I love breakfast foods, but I also enjoy ANY food that's nutritious at any meal. This suits me fine!
