  1. This was a great salad. I made a couple substitutions based on personal preference and what I had on hand. I left out the pimento and put in diced marinated red pepper, a handful of sliced mushrooms and two Roma tomatoes cut into eighths. I also added a squeeze of anchovy paste to the dressing. I was a bit confused by the directions as it sounded as though I should add the dressing and then refrigerate for two hours. That's what I did and it was delicious. Loved the bread crumbs, which I had never done before. We had neighbors over for lasagna and both husbands had seconds of salad. I was about to toss out the leftover salad but my husband stopped me and asked to keep it for the next day. That was a first too! I will definitely make this again.
     
  2. This salad is great. It is similar to another that I like so I combined them. I added black olives, pepperoncini, and some pepperoni so I could eat it as a main dish. In the past I have made the dressing with apple cider vinegar but I love the taste of the red wine vinegar. Also, due to lack of ingredients I used garlic powder and ground mustard. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  3. Very nice salad! I used a mix of salad leaves (all I had available), and instead of the breadcrumbs I used croutons. For the rest, I followed the recipe, but with no red wine vinegar left, I used balsamic, which was actually very good in this salad. Thanks!
     
  4. Absolutely amazing! I used spinach since I didn't have romaine. I think the dressing might be good with other ingredients too. Thanks for sharing.
     
  5. I made this to go with our alfredo dinner tonight. I loved this salad. The artichokes in this were so yummy. I will make this again, thank you for sharing.

  3. Yum! I leave out the pimentos, since I don't care for them. I have also substituted capers for the artichokes before and both versions are delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
