Very interesting salad. A nice mixture of fruits and vegetables that went well together. The tangy oil and vinegar dressing brought it all together. I used real bacon that I fried and crumbled and left off the feta because some of my guests won't eat if. I served this at our 4th of July party. Thanks for a great salad recipe.
