"This salad is always a hit when I serve it. The sweetness of the dried cranberries goes well with the salty tang of feta cheese."

Thanks! it was indeed a hit with my jambalaya menú.... the salad was a sweet and tangy nice experience.

This was a lovely salad. The dressing was very light (I found 4 tbsp of olive oil to be enough) and compliments the salad components beautifully, making a nice mix of sweet, savory and salty. Thank you MarieAlice for sharing the recipe.

O.K., I'm fudging here...I forgot the salad until the last minut so I used bottled raspberry vinaigrette, but I did beat a dollop of Dijon into it. The salad ingredients were very crisp and crunchy.It was enjoyed by all!
