Rita, I loved the flavors in this tasty salad. I used fresh strawberries & blueberries and frozen raspberries and blackberries. I didn't have enough raspberries so subed with blueberries. I also used a French Pear Vinegar as I was out of cider vinegar. The dressing was very delicious, so I opted to add a little more of it when serving the salad and omitted the greek yogurt, as per my picky dh. The honey is a wonderful addition. Thanks for sharing another winner. Made for Herbs of the Month - June - Tarragon :)

We really enjoyed the flavours in this salad. The vinegar took the edge off the sweetness of the honey and the walnuts were the perfect complement to the berries. We had with a dollop of vanilla yogurt over the top. I couldn't get Greek yogurt so my sauce may have been a bit runnier as a result. In step 5 of the instructions the sauce was too watery to fold in the 2nd half of the yogurt and I ended up just mixing it in. Made for Craze-E Contest.
