This was a good salad. I thought the combination of flavors was tasty, and the dressing was light and flavorful. I did use 1/4 tsp. garlic powder instead of the crushed garlic, and added the salt & pepper to the dressing before tossing with the salad. I used only iceburg lettuce (I was a little confused about the use of the romaine - in place of? or additional?), and didn't add parmesan or almonds. My hubby thought the dressing was a bit oily, so I might use 1/2 c. next time. Also, I used Kraft Fat Free Cheddar, and I thought it tasted fine in this salad.
