     Add blueberries to this for extra punch and color. You can also create your own dressing by starting with a low cal poppy seed dressing, adding a couple of T of sugar free raspberry preserves and couple of T. of champagne Vinegar. I've also toasted pecans and sprinkled a few on top. - 7/18/09

     Lay a piece of broiled tilapia or chicken strips on top and you've got a delicious meal! Great recipe. - 7/2/09

     This is my favorite salad. I like it with poppyseed dressing, or my new favorite lower calorie dressing is Ken's Sweet Vidalia Onion - Light. - 8/17/11

     I hate the taste of raspberry. Is there any other kind if dressing that will go with it? It looks yummy! - 2/24/11

    I've had people say poppyseed goes well. I'm sure any fruity or sweet & tangy dressing would go good. I've seen a strawberry vinigrette that looked like it would be awesome

     Loved this recipe. I've made it twice for lunch this week, and my kids ate it all. They liked theirs with no dressing. - 8/4/10

     I made this salad for a 4th of July picnic, it was a hit. I added some dried cranberries to this recipe and it was just what it needed some color and a bit of surprise. Just one suggestion, which I will do next time is add the dressing at the last minute before you serve. Very Good will make again. - 7/5/09

     This was very good. I filled my plate with spinach (3 cups) and then topped it with 1/2 of the fruit mixture and a Tablespoon or dressing. For my friend I did the same to the amount of spinach she choose and added crumbled feta on top. Adds extra calories to her salad, but she liked it. - 6/27/09
