Reply #1: sounds really good....

You know, salads are funny things. I usually prefer the simplist salads-- my everyday salad is just romaine pieces, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, olive oil, raspberry or rice vinegar, and croutons, and it's so good that I'm almost always disappointed by restaurant salads in comparison. I add ham or chicken slices to make it a meal, or make a caesar dressing if company's coming.

But every now and then a salad with more ingredients is really nice-- the thing is that it has to have the quality of the simple salad, not taste overdone, and that's really hard to achieve. Your recipe sounds like exactly the right blend of ingredients. I can't wait to try it.
