We really enjoyed this delicious salad. The salad dressing is a nice balance between sweet and tart (we used a natural sweetner vs. sugar). The dressing is a nice compliment to the sugared almonds, cherries and cheese. The only changes I made was to use Truvia vs. the sugar and I used stone-ground dijon mustard vs. dry ground mustard. I also left out the poppy seeds as DH doesn't like them. Made for Spring PAC, April, 2014.Reply
