I made this recipe without any changes, and it was a hit with our family (even the children!). I used baby spinach without chopping it up, because it didn't mention that in the recipe, but next time I would cut it up a bit before mixing it in to make it easier to eat.

This one is a winner. This would be good to make for dinner, to keep as a snack, or to take to a potluck. It's easy to make and it's really, really good.

Our teen daughter absolutely loves this recipe. She takes it to school for lunch. I make extra dressing and save it in a different container so it can be added to freshen things up a bit.
