This was not only delicious but all the color combination's made it looked great as well! This would be a great dish to take to a pot luck. I didn't add the dried cranberries (I didn't have any), but I added a sweet red apple. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. Next time, I will try it with the cranberries. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

This received a resounding 5-star rating from my entire table of taste-testers -- the whole family, gathered for our first grill-out in the nice weather! I added just a smidge more vinegar to the dressing, because I really like the tangy bite of vinegar. And by mistake, I shredded the Granny Smith apple (should have read the instructions all the way through first!) instead of cutting it in chunks. Nonetheless, very, very delicious! I will use this again and again, all summer long. Thanks, HokiesLady!

I made this for Easter family dinner and it was a great success. I did add a tsp of sugar to the dressing, but that was a personal preference. Other than that I followed the recipe and was pleasantly surprised to find it still crisp and edible two days later when I checked the leftovers. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
