"This is by far the best salad ever. I always get rave reviews with it and am constantly giving it out. Pretty much a mix of everything, with a great dressing. We eat this as a meal itself when the chicken is added. Enjoy."

This was good! However, I think it would be better if the ratio of lettuce to other ingredients was a bit different. There was so much lettuce and you couldn't really taste all the other wonderful flavours as much as we would have liked. I will cut back the lettuce a bit next time so the other flavours are more noticeable. I'll also add more chicken next time.
