This salad was "a hit" last night at our gathering; people were asking for the recipe! This is always a great compliment! I highly recommend this salad!

Made this recipe for a carry-in at work. Everyone loved it. It looks like a restaurant salad. I used one bag of mixed greens and cut the rest of the ingredients in half. There was still a little too much dressing. Very delicious. Quick and easy too.

Great Recipe. I used honey almonds instead and added bacon, water chestnuts, dried cranberries, and the won ton noodles from a chinese restaurant. My guests loved it and make requests for this salad time again.

I used pecans instead of the walnuts, added pomagranite seeds and used one hothouse cucmber which was plenty. The dressing was very good. I will make this again.

Light and refreshing. I did make a minor change. I had some candied walnuts left over from another recipe and so used them instead of the plain ones. I think this made it even better!

It had great flavor, but I cut the recipe back to make it for two people.

Made it for a little party I had and everyone commented that they liked it. Am going to try it at a larger party now. Hopefully it goes over just as well.

We took this salad to our friend's barbeque this weekend and everyone really enjoyed it. The perfect summer salad. The next time I make it I'll probably add grape tomatoes to make it more colorful. Other than that, it was delicious!
