You forgot to put the Raspberry Vinaigrette recipe with the recipe or by itself. Having the recipe on the net helps from having to type it from the magazine.10/13/04

I made this yummy salad without the chicken for a party and got lots of compliments . Will definitely make it again. Was great with balsamic vinaigrette dressing! Next time I won't use the avocado - the salad would have been just as wonderful without it.07/14/04
