This was good, though the dressing seemed just a bit sweet for our tastes. I assumed that the fat from the cooked bacon went into the dressing, so I cooked the bacon in a small skillet, removed it to drain when done, and just whisked in the rest of the dressing ingredients right into the bacon fat in the skillet to warm (off the heat). I also added a tablespoon of red wine vinegar - to cut the sweetness a bit - which worked nicely. It accompanied our Asian meal very nicely. Overall, it was a tasty (and pretty!) salad and simple to prepare. Thanks for posting it, Ed!

Great recipe. I used dried cranberries and bacon bits. It was very easy to make and very delicious. Ithought some nutmeats would be a good addition or fruit. The Nutrition facts are a little confusing. First glance was that the salad had 1052 calories until I figured it was the total calories for 4 servings not 1 serving. Definitely will make again.
