This is one of my favorite summer salads. I often add a little cottage cheese on the side and serve this as a meal.

Great salad. I added sliced tomatoes and red onion to it. And I left the dressing on the side because my daughter would rather put ranch dressing on it. I served this with Chrismas dinner and the entire salad was gone. Read More

I love this salad! I used half green leaf lettuce and half bib lettuce and I ended up giving the rest of my dinner to my husband so I could eat the salad. Definately worth the calories once and a while! My son didn't like it at all though. Read More

This was an average salad--but I eat a lot of interesting salads so it takes something special to make me say "Wow!" I prefer darker greens so I used romaine and spring mix (although I would have mixed in the Bibb if it hadn't gone bad). Plus I used sprouted sunflower seeds which I love. After tasting the dressing I added sea salt pepper and an extra splash of balsamic. I omitted the mayo because I don't use it. I do plan to keep this one--it will be a good lunch salad for work: Mix the dressing ahead of time toss the sunflower seeds on the lettuce and bring the whole avocado to chop up at work. Next time I'll take a previous reviewer's suggestion and use Dijon mustard. Read More

We loved it very interesting blend of flavours. Used a extra clove of garlic (natch) but next time will use less olive oil as I think one reviewer suggested. Also did not add salt as added salted roasted sunflower seeds. Read More

I liked the dressing and the sunflower seeds add a nice little crunch. This salad needs some color. Tomatoes red onion would be good additions. Crisp bacon would be awesome too. Read More
