Phenominal! Family and guests loved it, alike. This salad is a perfect balance of bleu cheese and bacon with a touch of sweetness. Agreed, that this is a great summer time salad. Presentation is excellent as well.

I made this for lunch and it was fabulous! This is a salad I will be making often in the Summer months! I might add Chicken if I want to make it a main meal salad. Thanks for a great recipe!
