The individual who enterred this recipe included 8 ounces of milk in the ingredients for the salad. The milk has been removed since it wasn't actually part of the recipe but was meant to be a drink to accompany it.

This site is sponsored by the California Dairy Counsel, so every recipe will have some sort of dairy ingredient. The salad is dairy-free, but since the goal is to have dairy in every recipe, milk is added as a side drink.

I'm just adding a comment, not a rating. A previous review asked what to do with the milk. I believe the milk is meant to be served as a drink with the salad and not part of the recipe. I agree it's confusing and the recipe should be rewritten to clarify that. Once I've tried the recipe, I'll write a real review!

I am confused about what to do with the milk. Is it to be mixed in with the salad greens after everything else? Have not tried it yet, because of the confusion. Sounds delicious.
