Loved the combination and had to try this. BF said it was Fantastic, I didn't think the flavor of everything came through. Neither one of us cared for the dressing given. Did try it but found it a little bland. I'd love to try this with a raspberry vinaigrette or something with a bit more zip. Though I was using cheap balsamic! Thanks for the idea!

This is a fantastic salad. I have now made this on 3 seperate occasions and have received rave reviews. My DH now requests I make this salad for all of our dinner parties. The dressing is fabulous. I did substitute the walnuts with almonds, but thats just our preference. I also added green onion and green pepper. Make this one - you wont be disappointed!

This is an absolutely wonderful salad that I've prepared several times! I did make a few changes. Instead of cranberries, I use a mix of dried berries (cranberries, blueberries, cherries, etc). I accidentally read 'balsamic vinegar' as 'balsamic vinaigrette', so I made that substitution at first. I actually prefer the dressing with the vinaigrette instead of the vinegar. When I'm feeling particularly lazy, I just use balsamic vinaigrette with an added drizzle of honey for the dressing. Thanks for the keeper; I really enjoy this salad!
