Coming from someone who does use dressing on salads, this one is very blah-bland. After cutting up all those vegetables, the dressing fell short on taste; disappointment. The lettuce wilted a few minutes after tossing with the dressing. This salad has potential, but only if using another dressing recipe.

Excellent salad recipe. I never use dressing but I love the dressing on this one. We subbed cherry tomatoes for the yellow pear tomatoes because they were unavailable.
