Wow. I just made the high-protein chopped salad. We love our salads, and I couldn’t wait to try this. I had to sub in dill, and used Dijon mustard and green olives. And wow. It’s fantastic! Thank you. This is definitely going into my salad rotation! BTW, we had this with lime tortilla chips for even more crunch.
