A quick-to-make and very pretty salad! Tart Granny Smith apple pieces and sweet pear chunks along with Craisins, cashews, and fresh-picked baby lettuces made a really nice combination. I reduced the sugar in the dressing by one-third which seemed about right. Tender slices of grilled chicken breast would be terrific in this salad ~ Thanks for the recipe!

Wonderful salad, I will be making this often! The only thing I did different was use grated parmesan cheese. Thank you Charlotte!

This was a great salad.Loved the dressing with it's sweet/tart flavour and I used 2 peeled and diced granny smith apples and white poppy seeds. Thanks for a lovely recipe!
