Is it 1cup or 4 oz of cheese???
Hi Nancy, If you are measuring it out, it is 1 cup. If you are weighing it, then it is 4 oz.

I am THRILLED to find this recipe! This is my favorite kind of salad and I was so sad to ‘lose’ it! Now I can enjoy eating it again and still enjoy LOSING it! 😉

How much is a serving? A cup?
Divide the whole thing into four. 1/4 = 1 serving.
