Wow! My Mom loves salads and I'm always making new ones. I threw her a party for her 60th bday and this salad was a STAR! Everyone raved about how flavorful it was. I love, love, love making different salads and this one is definitely at the top of my list! Thanks for great addition to my collection!

I just loved the flavor of this combination of ingredients ~ loved the tart/sweet /spicy flavor of the dressing and the combo of veggies. I did not fan the lettuce as directed, but left the romaine in larger pieces than usual, and served the salad on a platter rather than on individual bowls. I also threw a little fresh grated Parmesan over top. Really LOVED this salad. Thanks for a new keeper lazyme. Made for CookaThon for lazyme, May 2009!
