This salad ROCKS! I love the combination of tomatoes, walnuts and mozzarella cheese! The dressing is FAB, and made it so easy to whip this salad up. I ran out to my local strawberry stand to get the freshes for this salad. YUM! Will definitely make again. Thanks for another great recipe jneen! (Made for Spring PAC-09) -
