What a delicious salad, We really enjoyed it. I used an asian pear instead of the apple also added the craisins then made as stated. Love the toasted walnuts and bluecheese with the Raspberry dressing. We love salads, I made some kind of salad every evening to go with our dinner, This has been added to my cookbook. Thank you Sharlene.
