This recipe is a gem! It made a lovely light meal on a hot night, w/o heating up the kitchen. I did make a couple of substitutions. I had a lot of pears on hand, so used one of them instead of the apple. It fit well with the other ingredients. I also switched a packet of Splenda for the honey in the dressing & it came out great. I think something with a crunch - maybe toasted almonds or some sunflower seeds - would be a great addition to this salad. Will add that in next time. Thanks, Teresa!Reply
