This was excellent. A new summertime favorite for use. Loved the dressing. I did leave the almonds off to cut some of the calories, but did add the blue cheese. Thanks so much. Made for SSC Pet Parade

I scaled this down to a lunch sized portion for just me and added chicken for a wonderful room temperature dish. I did cut down on the amount of sugar I used and will probably cut down or elminate the next time. Thanks for posting!
