This salad was fantastic! Even my 9 year old, who doesn't like tomatoes or cooked onions, liked it very much! My three year old even ate it happily, and he doesn't normally like spinach! I served it with grilled chicken breast that I'd marinated in balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano, marjoram, salt, and pepper. I plopped the chicken on top of the salad and then topped the chicken with the cheese. Fantastic! I will definitely be making this one again! Thank you!
