Salad Recipe...

So due to the fact that almost all the comment asked me to pass on good salad recipes here are two from my recipe group that got GREAT reports. I am NOT a big fan of Mayo so I didn't really like the first one but all the other ladies LOVED it and I LOVED the second one it was kind of like a taco salad, but SO MUCH better. A few of my friend made some GREAT salad but either they didn't bring copies of the recipe or they ran out before I could get one.
