I substituted mayo for the MW as we don't care for it, but the mayo was fine in this recipe. I just added in Splenda to add a little sweetness of my own, and omitted the sugar! It went over big here and its on our to make again list!

We all enjoyed this different salad tonight for dinner. One change I would make would be to substitute Romaine for iceberg lettuce. I think it would keep more crunch in the salad. It is quite sweet so next time I will decrease the sugar a bit as well. It will be repeated again soon. Yumm. Thanks for the recipe! Update! The following day I cut up some baked ham into the salad and took it to work. It was very good (even though the lettuce waas wilted). The rest of the salad remained crisp and yummy. The ham really added a nice touch to the salad. I can't wait to make it again.

Good Stuff! I love this dressing. I make a broccoli salad that is similar but I never thought to put lettuce in it. It is a very nice touch!
