Peggy, great! I really appreciate this as I have a dinner party coming up Tuesday night and this is a perfect summer evening salad.
Thanks!

shoyski,

FYI - Tonight I made an incredible fruit salad from the Complete CL Cookbook. It is called Fruit-and-Honey Spinach Salad. The main ingredients are spinach, cantaloupe, strawberries, blackberries and macademia nuts. It was so good and perfect for company! The presentation is very colorful and the flavors excellent. Not to cloud the waters for you, but you might want to check this one out also. (Both salads are good.) I have posted the recipe on its own thread. It was so good, I just had to share it with everyone that doesn't have that cookbook.

Peggy, you crack me up. There is no such thing as too many salad recipes to try. Thanks a bunch!

I got a chuckle out of myself because I came across the new recipe and copied it before I saw this response post. I could make a dinner out of these kinds of salads! Now if only I could convince my husband that fruit and a green salad go together.
