I switched out the mesclun with baby greens and the sunflower seeds with pumpkin seeds. This salad was delicious and enjoyed by myself, my dad and my husband. I can't wait to try it again with shrimp instead of chicken.

Love, love, love this refreshing, healthy salad. I served on some tortillas that I had crisped up under the grill (broiler). A regular in our household.

I loved this salad! I left out the chicken, added yellow bell peppers, used green cabbage instead of red, and topped it all off with Ken's Vidalia dressing! Thank you so much!
