My husband said i could charge money for this salad it was that GOOD! I followed everything except i used blue cheese crumbles instead of feta. I felt it needed a stronger flavored cheese to offset the sweet dressing. YUMMYNESS! I also grilled up some chick breasts to slice up and serve on top as a whole meal. My 15 yr old didn't care for the strawberries on the salad for some reason. I WILL be making this alot over the summer. Thanks
