    This salad is sooooooooo yummy! I could eat it all day long! The only thing I changed was I added some Goat cheese to it. Just about and ounce or so. Because this salad is a sweeter salad it helped balance it out, but asiago and feta would be good too Amazing recipe thanks for sharing!! - 3/28/11

    I don't usually like to have sweet salads like this, but I was pleasantly surprised! Would make again! Maybe would reduce sugar just a tad for macro and nutrient goals but still, a bright, refreshing salad! - 4/27/20

    I have been making this salad for over 12 years . Always a hit , never fails to please. I do reserve dressing , Salad won't keep well until next day if dressing is on it. So drizzle and toss on my plate. - 3/31/13
