A definite keeper, I added a bit of honey to the dressing which was amazing to begin with and upped the quantities of all the good stuff (bacon, toasted coconut, and almonds...because who wouldn't want more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Wonderful salad that was perfect with T.G.I. Friday's Jack Daniel's Grilled Salmon recipe#123298. The only changes I made in the salad was to add about a dozen raspberries and used raspberry vinegar (in place of the vinegar mentioned). We will be having this often. Thanks for sharing!
