My husband and I both love this salad. I have made it a few times, and will continue to make it. It is a keeper in our family.

My girlfriends loved this salad for valentines dinner. I used chopped cooked bacon instead of bacon bits which I think was better. I also used an iceberg salad mix with carrots and cabbage plus baby spinach instead of just straight mixed green. Threw in some more salad with the left-over and added cold chicken from the dinner and had it for lunch the next day. Still just as good!!!

Delicious! Will make again, used regular bacon, cooked crisp, and yellow onions, didn't have any red onions.

I made this salad for a large pot luck. I omited the walnuts and added dried cranberries instead. I had raving reviews. This was a grart salad and plan to use it again.

We enjoyed this salad. I used a low-fat balsamic dressing, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. We especially liked the addition of the mandarin oranges which gave the salad a sweet flavor to offset the tang of the dressing.
