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!

This salad was great. The Buttermilk Lime Dressing made the salad. We will definitely have this again at our house. Pat and Gina you should bottle this dressing and sell it, it is that good.

Wasn't crazy about this recipe. Thought it would be much better. I noticed that I had printed it at two separate times, that's how good it looked to me. Now I see some people talking about their leaving out 2 T. olive oil. Maybe that would have helped. Guess I won't know, as I'm throwing away the recipes.

Surely those of you that want to rant can find another place to do this - please stop wasting everyone's time posting here. This is suppose t/b for RECIPES REVIEWS y'all. As for the salad -it was simple to prepare, refreshing, & delicious while easy to pair w dinner of grilled filet mignon and crusty bread. Thank you!

If you don't like the comedic banter on "their" show, send an e-mail to Food Network. Why post it in the recipe review section. This section is for reviewing recipes not the issues that you have with the show. I love the show and apparently other people do as well, the proof is in the pudding!

Lighten up people (or is "lighten" a racial comment I shouldn't say?@!!...mamma mia, (oops, is that ok to say w/o offending anyone. For those of you who see P.I. so-called "racial" references between Pat and Gina's banter while cooking, you are waaaaaaay overthinking it...they are making themselves the brunt of the joke, not anyone else. I really think this country is losing its mind, looking for arbitrary issues to fight about and find fault with. Can't we all get along and concentrate on fixing REAL problems???

I totally agree with "Need to Vent" and "Ditto" - love the food, like the Neelys, but don't feel welcome in the kitchen as a Caucasian. Awareness of racial comments goes both ways.
