I love vinegar, especially balsamic, and this dressing suits the salad perfectly. The balsamic makes it slightly rich, while still being a light refreshing salad! Good job Ellie!!!

It was very easy to make, and is very light as well. All the flavors blend very nicely, and the balsamic dressing gives it a nice zing.

Its starting to get a little freaky how I keep trying Ellie's recipes and none of them need any improvement. Even with my favorite magazines I find recipes I don't like that need tweaking. This salad was wonderful...I did use ham instead of canadian bacon b/c I could not find a nitrate free brand.
If you are new to Ellie's recipes, so far we have enjoyed: Portobella Lasagna Rollups, Stuffed Turkey Burgers, Thai Style Halibut, and her energy mix (cherries & walnuts. But there are definately many more still on my list to try.
