This salad tastes good but I ended up leaving many of the ingredients out or lessening portions because of the calorie count per serving. Read More

If you don't like cumin this dressing is not for you. Although not all my company enjoyed it I loved the dressing. My salad consisted of out-of-the-bag spring greens (mesclun) and baby spinach onto which I tossed a couple of handfuls of blueberries red and green grapes and mandarin oranges. The salad was surprisingly delicious. If I had added chickpeas and a piece of bread I would have considered the salad a complete meal. To save calories and fat just omit the cheese and peanuts.

The cumin just doesn't belong. I'll keep looking for a citrus-ginger dressing. Read More

This salad has beautiful colors. I love that it's healthy. I didn't have cabbage or cauliflower so I left it out but it was still delicious. I would have loved the crunch from the cabbage though. I might use sliced almonds instead of peanuts next time as I think it would compliment the salad even better. Make the dressing ahead of time so the flavors have a chance to blend and don't forget the cumin! It adds wonderful flavor the dressing. Read More
