Our favorite salad recipe to make! Thank you for posting the recipe! -
We liked this very much. It is quite tangy but very good. Thanks for the recipe. -
We thought this salad was missing something. It seemed to need something more than olive oil and vinegar. We wouldn't make this again.

Excellent dressing--I used it on baby spinach instead of romaine. Also added some craisins. Thanks for sharing. -
Loved this salad! I cut the olive oil back just a tad, otherwise, no changes. Thanks for posting the recipe!
