    Loved this salad and the dressing, plus it was easy to make! It makes a lot and is cost effective. I wasn't sure if I would like the buttermilk dressing, but it was delicious! It made the salad pop with flavor in my mouth! I am definitely going to make this again!

    Super easy and easily "bulked" up which is great for increasing recipe yeilds....I have made this salad many times over, as it is a family favorite especially during the summer months, with grilled proteins. I will, on occassion, substitute the buttermilk dressing for Whishbone Robusto Italian (regular OR fat free - seasoned to taste Dressing because it doesn't have to be constantly refrigerated or kept chilled which is great for potlucks/patio dining. Also, I'll add a dash of cumin for that southwest flavor. The chilled leftovers taste even better the next day!

    Great salad recipe! Easy to chop up in advance, saving the dressing for just before serving. Made half recipe for my hubby and my dinner last night, along with the orange honey bbq chicken, from the same episode. And reserved half of that (or a quarter recipe of the salad, dressing on the side, for my lunch today. Added some of the left-over bbq chicken to the top. Fantastic lunch!
