This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices to the dressing.

I made this salad for a picnic, and it was the perfect dish to transport. It held up well in the cooler, and it was still delicious when we ate it hours later.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or steak. I also like to add some chopped hard-boiled eggs.

The dressing was amazing! I used a little less mayo than the recipe called for, and it was still plenty creamy. The garlic flavor was perfect, not too strong and not too weak.

This salad was a hit at my dinner party last night! The creamy garlic dressing was the perfect complement to the fresh, crisp greens. I'll definitely be making this again.
