I made this yummy salad to have with some fresh salmon and asparagus. It is spicy with a zing to it that we loved! The dressing compliments the salad with so much flavor! I now keep some in my fridge ready to go, as my dd is a salad freak and loves it so much.

I was so happy to try this salad. It looked so good with all the different ingredients. I really loved the addition of the different greens together with the artichokes and pepperoncini peppers. The salad dressing had just enough zing to compliment the rest of the ingredients and the salad tasted so good! My family loved having a different salad to try and told me how much they loved it. My son wanted to bring home the leftovers and my husband said we can keep this in the fridge all the time. It doesn't get much better than that for compliments!
