Have made this salad many times before but just realized, I have never rated it! Definitely 5 stars. It's a great way to get some fruits & greens in at once! And of course, the glazed almonds are always a hit on their own too!

This looked so good, I decided to add it to my Christmas menu, and am I glad I did. It was a winner from start to finish. Loved the salad dressing too! I will be making this often. Thanks Sharon! Jenn
