Absolutely my whole family from my mom, siblings, husband and children. One day my husband decided he wanted a nice Chef Salad, so I decided to gather up some ingredients and throw them together. We have been doing this ever since. I have a niece that visits time to time and I ask her what she would like to have for dinner and she tells me the salad because it is her all time favorite thing in the whole world that I fix. So there we are we will eat this year round not just in the summer, but it is very refreshing..........
