I served this to a group. We liked it but you had to eat it fast because it did wilt rather easy. Flavor was good. Try it and see what you think-it is worth trying!

Great , yet simple, salad. I liked the dressing, too.

This was awesome! I used field greens instead of romaine and added 1/2 cup of toasted slivered almonds. I brought it to a bridal shower I attended and the guests who ate it gave very favorable reviews.
