This IS a delicious salad, but I only gave it three stars because I feel the name is a misnomer. The whole "low-cal" notion is based upon 6 servings. I made this today and there is no way that there are 6 servings worth of salad. I made a very normal sandwich today and used a third of it. Using 3 servings as the calculation point, it comes to 456 cals, or 11 points per serving--and that's just the salad, not the bread you're probably going to put it on. So yes, this is absolutely delicious, and I will definitely be making it again, but please keep in mind that, despite the low-fat ingredients, this recipe is NOT low-cal.

I went to culinary school and am really focusing my culinary attention on losing weight and keeping it off! I am always looking for great ways to tweak recipes to make them low cal/low carb.
