Just had this yummy salad for lunch, and found it to be light, lovely, and elegant. I loved it! I made it exactly as directed, except to use the greens I had on hand (spinach leaves), and found this to be a scrumptious combination. I would defintely recommend not skipping the parmesan cheese, as I found the combo of balsamic vinegar and parmesan cheese, to make a perfect salad dressing for this salad. This is a wonderful and versitile salad, one that can be utilized particularly well as a main luncheon or dinner salad, and can even be used as an elegant starter salad (lightening up on the chicken), for a dinner party or romantic dinner for two. I will defintely be placing this recipe in my "Tried and True" file - thanks for sharing it!

I'm a busy mum to 5 plus a precious grandson. I've always had a passion of serving healthy nutritious and most importantly tasty food to my family and friends. Being an Aussie I have a insatiable appetite for bbq'ing . My cookery books fill three shelves of a large bookcase and I use the internet constantly looking for new recipes and ideas.
My passion for food and cooking has been passed down to my children with 2 now being qualified chefs and another 2 working part time in the food industry whilst studying. My grandson has enjoyed the benefits of a 'foodie family' and has only ever eaten food freshly prepared by us and usually grown by a member of the family as well.
