I made this recipe for Christmas and it was great! The red and green coloring also made it festive-looking. I, too, left out the bean sprouts and substituted cashews. Even my picky Mother-in-law couldn't complain!!

I deleted the bean sprouts and replaced them with salted cashew nuts...a nice complement to the sweet/sour dressing. Our guests loved it, in my opinion,it deserves a "5-pan" rating.

I make a very similar salad with spinach, strawberries, very thinly sliced red onion, mandarin oranges and bacon - use any raspberry vinegrette dressing (homemade or bottled)

well after reading the reviews, i was sold on this rather odd-sounding salad. admittedly, i was a bit nervous while preparing it and found my suspicions of poor taste to be true. the thing was waaaaay toooo sweeeeet, borderline cavity-producing. yet my BF and i sat through it all and managed to find some pleasure in the strange amalgamation of flavors. if there's an encore (which is doubtful) i will ease up on the sugar as well as the oil.

love it, but without the bean sprouts.
