It's always fun to share recipes, especially tried and true ones....like this salad, that is SO GOOD for a summer day. I've had it a while, and never tire of it. You may have heard of it, but this is a reminder to enjoy it sometime soon if you've had it. If you've not, try it and it will likely become an old stand by....it's so delicious! Head on over to Jen's and see what else is cooking for Tasty Tuesday. Thanks so much for hosting, Jen!!!

Thank you for this amazing looking salad recipe. I can't wait to try it. Also, thank you for bringing a smile to my face yesterday when you wanted to make something rubber that was wood. I could relate to that predicament.
Love that salad! Can't wait to make one! We have strawberries right now!
Hugs, Lisa
I went back and copied your Chinese Chicken Salad recipe. Can't wait to get the ingredients to try that one.

Ooo--I love a summer salad! :)
Oh, Suzanne...you make me want to whip that up for dinner!
That was a good idea to check the blogs first before going to the grocery. I will make a plan to do that. That is a beautiful salad and strawberries are out there now.

Sounds delicious! I love a salad with strawberries! Enjoy your day!
Sounds delicious. I hate cooking in the summer. (I hate cooking in the winter, spring and fall, too, but that's another matter.) Anyway, this would make a great supper on those especially hot nights.
I think I'll try the mandarin orange version. I'm feeling orange-y:O) Sounds delish!
Your salad sounds perfect for a summer meal. The candied almonds especially sound good!
Oh yummy yummy. This does indeed sound like the perfect summer salad. Thanks for the recipe! We have yummy strawberries right now and this is a great use for those. Is that feta sprinkled on the salad too? Man, I'm gettin' hungry....
I love a good salad and that looks delicious!
THANK YOU for posting this recipe. Complete with dressing. I mean, really--I wish all recipes were written like this! I look forward to trying it.

love your new, er, media cabinet! yes, i've wished wood was rubber at times, and doorways were elastic! but those pieces are so beautiful, it's worth wishful thinking!

I love summer salads. For some reason I don't love making them, but I do love eating them.
