I can't believe I forgot to review this last summer when I made it. This was great for a 4th of July party. I substitued sliced almonds and craisins as I prefer them. I also used some granny smith apples along with gala apples. One more thing I did was substitute low fat/lo cal for the cheese & mayo.I did keep regular sugar, but might try splenda next time. Everyone wanted the recipe and was looking for leftovers the next day.

Great salad! Not overly mayonnaisey, with lots of sweet, crunchy, salty stuff going on. This would be a very popular pot luck choice, it's colorful and attractive. You'll need a really big bowl, I'd put the servings at 10 rather than 6. I'll probably double the bacon next time, but this is just a personal preference. Yum! I'm on my way to the kitchen for some more now. Thanks, Dreamgoddess, for a great recipe!
