    could nuts be done in non caloric Pam spray to reduce fat calories and oiliness - 5/28/21

    This sounds very good. I would use Splenda brown sugar blend to reduce calories even more. I'm going to make it next time we have a cookout. - 8/20/18

    Very yummy! I love all the crunch! I might add a little less oil next time because the dressing makes it very oily - it leaves my lips feeling very oily and slick. Other than that, definitely a fan! - 10/1/13

    Sounds wonderful--but will have to halve recipe since 12 servings is more than I need at any one time - 5/28/13
