    I made this recipe exactly as written with 1 deviation. I did not use walnuts, as I do not care for them in any form. WOW! This was so light and refreshing. I used leftover rotisserie chicken and happen to find the most gorgeous pencil thin asparagus at the grocery this week. This salad was light, refreshing, tasty and did not leave me feeling like I had to take a nap after eating it. Romaine lettuce really makes this salad and is my favorite lettuce. This one is going into my recipe rounder.
