  • “I was hoping this was a chilled salad when I clicked on the name…I adore spinach salads but never cared for the hot bacon dressing. I loved this recipe, I added some micned garlic and cubed chicken breast and served this with garlic taost and it was fantastic. Thank you! “

  • “Excellent simple salad, I made my own garlic croutons and added some tomatoes and chopped sweet peppers because I had it as a maincourse. The Parmesan was a nice addition. A very healthy meal it was!!”
