“Hi Tiffany. The nutrition list didn't include the size of the portion. Do the numbers also reflect your no fat mayo or are they calculated with regular mayo? Your ingredient list included 1 TBSP Italian seasoning but it wasn't included in the directions. I ass” — a cook, 4.0★
“I loved this salad. Second time around I added a little chopped tomato and cut back on the Italian seasoning. I felt the Italian seasoning overpowered the other ingredience. Definitely a take with me salad for our family gatherings.” — a cook, 5.0★
