Maggiano's Little Italy Chop Salad image

I tried this last night at Maggiano's and loved it. I prepared this and to my delight found that it is a pretty good imitation of the original. This is a modification of a recipe I found on Recipe Goldmine. I would suggest making "Recipe #239502" instead of pan frying prosciutto, but either works.

This salad is just ok. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

This salad is a bit too heavy for my taste. I prefer salads with lighter ingredients.

This salad is too bland for my taste. I like salads with more flavorful ingredients.

I'm not a fan of the dressing in this salad. I prefer a more vinegary dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I often add whatever vegetables I have on hand and it always turns out great.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The sweet and sour dressing is a perfect complement to the crunchy vegetables.
