This salad was delicious, absolutely delicious. It was light, refreshing, flavorful and very satisfying. I enjoyed the flavors and textures, the fruits, lettuce, beef and dressing complimented each other perfectly, creating a very tasty treat. Thank you so much for sharing the best salad that I have tried on this site.
