I made this for dinner tonight. It was wonderful, Ihad never thought of adding marinated artichoke hearts to a salad but it was wonderful. I set out almost all of your optional ingredients and let the family make their own salad. This was a big hit, I will continue to offer these ingredients since everyones tastes are different. Thank you for posting, this is my favorite salad too.......Stephanie

I love to cook but can't eat what I make!! Between watching my diabetes, coumidin levels,fat, sodium, and carb intake there is nothing left to eat but cardboard!!(high fiber, I hope) so I'm forever looking for good food that is something I can eat without guilt
