Elegant, Easy & Quite tasty! Hubby initially turned up his nose at this one but had to eat his words ... we both really enjoyed this salad. It was a nice diversion from the standard vinaigrette salads and an awesome combination of fruits and greens! I must admit I was skeptical when reading the list of ingredients but this is definitely a keeper! Thanks!
