Tasty. Didn't have raspberry vinaigrette, mixed my own regular. My dressing was really thick, I did thin it a little.

Yummy! I'm very pleased with this salad. I omitted the lettuce just because I didnt have any one hand. I added extra celery. I used a red wine vinaigrette dressing. The flavors worked well together. Thanks for posting I will be making this again. Made for 123 Hits

I love it when I try a recipe where I am not sure if the ingredients will work together and I end up surprised by the good flavour combinations. In the case of this recipe, it was the addition of the raspberry that I was unsure of but it worked well. I cut the recipe in half and had it as part of my lunch today. The only change I made was yo use a yellow pepper because I was out of green. Made for 1-2-3 tag.

This sure was quick to make, I like that. I thought it was missing something, maybe some green onion. Made for holiday tag. I didn't post my picture as Sharon's was much nicer than mine.

A yummy salad that I enjoyed for lunch! I halved the recipe, used raspberry balsamic vinegar for the dressing. Thank you! Made for the Potluck game.
