	Twobassadores Very easy and good to eat. I added in other veggies I had around the house. I will make this again. 5 months, 1 weeks, 4 days, 11 hours, 5 minutes ago
	Petraspot I used splenda, with frozen spinach(frozen was all i had in house)..served it with pinto beans and it turned out great..maybe a bit sweeter than I expected but my roommate ate it all and she doesn't even like beans. She said the contrast to the beans made them a good combination and the beans enjoyable.. I also topped with tomato and green onion. Going to try it with fresh greens next. Cant wait :)) 7 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, 8 hours, 11 minutes ago
	ReyV Made it per the instructions, and it was awesome! Well, maybe I went a little heavy on the garlic, but I liked it that way. Added a little feta, which didn't change the flavor much; just added depth. Yum. 7 months, 4 weeks, 14 hours, 3 minutes ago

	memerson4 great and simple recipe! I swapped out the splenda for 1 tablespoon honey, left off the boiled egg and added some red pepper flakes for a little more bite.

	I expected a sweeter dressing. I made this with Splenda and did use about 1-1/4 tsp. Splenda. I felt it was a little too tart for me. Otherwise very good. 2 years, 2 weeks, 6 days, 13 hours, 49 minutes ago
	Baaseballtep 2 years, 1 months, 6 days, 19 hours, 22 minutes ago
	Jet92037 The dressing is not as sweet as I would have liked but it's still good. I added chopped eggs and crumbled bleu cheese to the salad which gave it a little more flavor. 2 years, 2 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 14 hours, 35 minutes ago
	L_garza1 Added sauteed mushrooms. My boyfriend and I loved this salad! 2 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 16 hours, 12 minutes ago

	promfh I used Splenda to reduce the carbs a bit and calculated the nutrition profile. This makes the recipe more diabetic-friendly. [I made edits to this recipe.] 4 years, 10 months, 4 days, 13 hours, 50 minutes ago
	promfh I added a few chopped tomatoes to round out the flavors. Everyone went back for second helpings. 4 years, 10 months, 4 days, 14 hours, 4 minutes ago
