Very good, we loved the dressing! I use blueberries too and added slivers of Gruyere Cheese instead of Monterey Jack. The Gruyere went extremely well with the salad! Thanks for the delicious recipe!

A tasty summer salad with a lot of color that even appealed to my kids! I preferred cashews to the walnuts- but whatever works! It's a great time of year to enjoy it!
