I think that the key to making a delicious dinner salad is using a variety of ingredients, and making sure to add protein. For me, no protein = starving an hour later.
I followed the recipe exactly as written for the salad portion, but I cut the salad dressing recipe in half- it was plenty for 4 servings. I tossed half the salad with half the dressing in a big bowl for dinner, then I put the rest of the dressing & salad in containers to make packed lunches for Matt & I to eat at work the next day.
