I love all the main ingredients in this salad, so I was bound to love it! Apart from making it with baby spinach leaves (which may or may not have been what was intended), doubling the garlic and adding 3 grated baby carrots, I made this exactly to the recipe. Scrumptious! Everyone loved it, even a couple of people who claim they normally don’t care much for salads. I’ll be making this again, and next time I think I’ll add some kalamata olives. Thanks for sharing!
