I made this to take to picnic at an outdoor concert and it was a big hit. I did let the dressing sit in the fridge for several hours to mix the flavours and it was worth it. I also used more than 1 cup of greens for each salad because this was our main dish. Bearing that in mind, I probably should have (at least) doubled the recipe for the dressing.

This was really good. I used ranch dressing instead of the mayo like Chris suggested. My whole family enjoyed this salad. The only change that I made is that I added some cubed cheddar cheese. This salad tastes like a club salad but better!

I made this for dinner tonight and both my husband and I loved it! I used a couple of smoked chicken breasts from the shop. It's quite a filling but at the same time a light meal, great for summer. Thanks for sharing!

I love the pasta salad version of this recipe. I've also made the dressing and tossed it with pasta for a side dish with chicken. Very, very good!

Loved it because we're honest, self reliant, hard working BLT eaters of any type. That's what makes America great. Is it not?
