Hi Nancy, This is an awesome salad, although I have to say so myself. I made it and took it to a friend and they all raved about it and immediately asked for the recipe of the salad as well as the dressing. Hope you will try and also enjoy it.
This looks so yummy I must try it 🙂 Thank you for sharing, I never saw a site with so many recipes as yours.
