I used dried strawberries in place of fresh. (I never buy fresh strawberries out of season.) I reduced the cheese to 1/2 cup and the same with the sun-dried tomatoes. The flavor combination is delicious but the balance of flavors is off considerably. That shouldn't stop you from trying the salad. It didn't stop me. cg 4 stars for flavor and color.Reply
