I'm not sure what makes a salad a dish based on mixed greens and what makes a salad based on mayonnaise. This one is both. After I started making the dish and realized that it had a mayo, I was a little disappointed, but the dish won me over. Proof of it's victory: first night my husband ate it with me. I packaged up the left overs to eat the following night, but when I got home . . .some one had already taken care of them. That's two thumbs up.
