Tasty. We used unsalted peanuts for the nut selection. I forgot to crush them first, but they were find as is. I was concerned that there wouldn't be enough dressing, but once it had a chance to marinate overnight, the small amount of dressing worked out quite nicely and certainly reduced the amount of calories that otherwise would have been in the salad. I was also afraid that it would be too sweet because there is a lot of Splenda in the dressing, but that also worked out well. Made for the My 3 Chefs game.
