Absolutely fantastic! So good that I've made it twice in 3 nights. I have recommended it to all my friends and family, and will continue to make it as my go-to salad.

I'm not a huge fan of salads, but this one is an exception. The dressing is what makes it - it's so flavorful and addictive. I could eat this salad every day.

This salad is so easy to make and it's so delicious. I love that I can use whatever vegetables I have on hand. I've made it with grilled chicken, shrimp, and even tofu. It's always good.
