REVIEW: Greens with Creamy Berry Dressing

[mommywannabe]

Here's another review from the Seattle supper club that met earlier this week. I'm posting for my friend Kristi who is having computer problems.

A very easy to prepare dish. All of the reviews were positive:

- So refreshing; very tasty.
- Perfect salad to accompany an entree.
- Spicy; good to take to someone's house.
- Wonderfully tangy dressing.
- Great contrast between sweet fruit & the dressing.
- Really liked the flavors of teh dressing.
- Next on the menu at my house!
