Oh young grasshoppah, look no further. You have recipe for culinary bliss...sweet, salty, crunchy and healthy all in one one dish. Yes, master, I revere the harmony of a great salad. Made for Summer Salad Snapshots.

Great salad! The dressing is what made this dish. I will use the lemon poppy seed dressing on other salads. Thanks, Heather.

I have NEVER had such a response to a salad as I did to this one! Everyone I have ever made it for has asked for the recipe. Not only is it easy AND good...it is so pretty! I added fancy, curly lettuce and spinach to the sald (in addition to the romaine), which just made it even better--and there was still plenty of dressing to coat the additional amount of greens. This salad is one of the reasons I just love this site.

This is so very yumpy! I took this to a small birthday party this weekend, and it was a huge hit! The dressing is awsome, to say the very least! I used a combintion of romaine and spinach. I will be making this again, that is for sure! Thanks for the great recipe Ivy!!!
